We do not know that in the middle of the city of Johor Bahru have such a lush and greenery place for its urban people to stroll about in the midst of the most busiest part of the city.
Hutan Bandar Johor Bahru covers an area of 50 acres situated at Jalan Tasek Utara and Jalan Yahya Awal, Johor Bahru, about 1.5 km from city centre. It is a ‘Family-Oriented Recreation Park’ where included harmoniously integrating the topographical structure water source, as well as indigenous flora and fauna with spaces for activities and facilities.
This recreational park is special because the original appearance is maintained as removal of trees in the area was kept to a minimum. The result was, this valuable piece of land kept its physical and aesthetic values, providing scenes of beauty and serenity for all.
It consists of a few elements to fulfil the needs of a concept of a 'Family-Oriented Recreation Park', in amidst the shooting, comforting and harmonious atmosphere of nature, and to accommodate to the needs of Johor Bahru's growing population.
Laman Tembusu
The Landscape Department of MBJB is located here. This department handles all the enquiries as booking of facilities in Hutan Bandar.
It is situated just near the entrance of the Park. It consists of the offices, meeting rooms, function halls, and a large Koi Pond at the centre of the courtyard area.
We spent some time here, looking and took photos of the Koi inside the pond. There were other visitors as well, I think most are locals spending some quality time with their loves one here.
Food Court
Also known as Gerai Atap Berlian, which offers variety of foods and drinks from it 16 stalls. While enjoying the food you can enjoy on the greenness surrounding at the food court.
The food stalls located at the entrance of the Park, which near to the parking areas for convenience of the visitors.
We did not go as we had our breakfast near the down town area in the morning. It looks a bit wear off from far during we drove in to the parking area. Heard that the food is good and delicious. May be next round of visits we can come back again.
Children Adventurous Park
This is the centre of attraction for the whole family to relax and enjoy themselves especially during weekends and public holidays.
The playground concept was to educate and stimulate the minds and physical of the children an teenagers.
The main attraction includes Swimming and wading pools for children, Maze, Sand Pit, Netscape Ground and Reflexology Pathway.
Lake Area
Comprises seven lakes situated close to one another and being the main attraction to those who love water activities especially fishing.
The lakes are the gems in the middle of the green forest. One connected to another. We can see people were sitting at the lakeside with their fishing rods.
Camping Site
Facilities offered here are chalet, changing rooms, public lavatories, mini hall, surau, camping are, jungle tracking and BBQ facilities with reasonable price.
During our visits, we can see some school students were here too. I was thinking they must be planning on some outings or activities here.
After the Hutan Bandar, we headed to the Johor Zoo.
