★★★★★Edited a year agoThe Central Park at Taman Desa is a lovely green space perfect for a leisurely stroll or outdoor activities. The park is well-maintained, clean, and offers plenty of seating areas to relax. It has a nice walking track, children’s playground, and you can bring your dogs for a walk. There are also pet-friendly restaurants within the park. The environment is peaceful, making it an ideal spot to unwind. However, it can get crowded during the weekends, especially in the evenings. Overall, a great place to enjoy nature and bring your furry friends along!
