Park or lake with jogging and outdoor gym in Kuala Lumpur?
In many cities there's an obvious place to go for a run, such as along a beach front, around a lake, along the river, or some nice big park.
In Kuala Lumpur the river is sadly neglected and undeveloped but it would make a perfect park.
The only park I've stumbled across is in the KLCC next to the Petronas Towers and it doesn't seem so big or natural but I'll settle for it if that's all there is.
What I would really like to find is a bigger natural park with as many of these features as possible:
- Preferably with a small free outdoor gym or exercise machines, especially a chin-up bar.
- Preferably with a body of water - there may be a lake since the river's not suitable and there's no coast.
- Within one hour walk from Chinatown, or accessible by public transport without changing lines.
Best Answer
Natural, open areas are not a strong suit for Kuala Lumpur.
Potential sites (both are near public transportation, neither have chin-up bars):
- ASEAN sculpture garden (not natural, not particularly big, no water, but the area around it is natural and shaded in places)
- Merdeka square (big, not natural, not shaded, no bodies of water).
Here's a running route map from the JW Marriott in Kuala Lumpur:
I think most locals go to gyms for running and pull-ups.

Answer 2
It's a little bit of a walk but if you go to Universiti station and either bus/walk/taxi to the entrance of the university campus there's a outdoor gym there and a path for running.
Haven't found anything else in around the core area.
Hope that helps.
