“Out of all five, my favourite one would be KL Botanica because there’s something for everyone there”
Now that most states are allowed to go out for some outdoor fun, these are some of the parks located around Klang Valley that you can visit. A gentle reminder that some of these parks are packed especially during the weekends.
