Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir

At sunrise, the view is beautiful, with the city’s skyline in pink, purple, orange, and red, is reflected onto the water. So if you’re in need of a good landscape shot, here’s your spot. You’d be surprise at how many morning birds have already started their day with a jog around the man made lake. The lake is not exactly clean, but so are most lakes in Malaysia. So no biggie. The paths are pretty clean. The only thing I don’t quite like is that it can get a bit too crowded in the morning or in the evening when the sun is not too hot, and the lack of greenery.

Taman Tasik Ampang Hilir is a huge park located in Ampang just behind Jalan Ampang. When it first opened about 5 – 6 years ago it was nice and big and clean. Sadly over the years the quality of the place has deteriorated terribly. I’ve been very recently and eww it was awful. The lake smells god awful like dead fish and thats exactly what it was, dead fish! We could see the dead fish rotting away on the side of the pond, don’t know why they’re dead or why people in charge are not cleaning it up.
Another thing i don’t like about this place is that it doesn’t allow dogs. Meh. Why would i go for an evening walk without my girls? Also its quite annoying that malay weddings are held there. I mean there’s a hall and all but it interferes with the main purpose of the park. All these people carrying in catering stuff and a whole lot of people dressed up but using park facilities. Maybe its not a big deal but it annoys me and I would not be coming back here anytime soon if not ever again.
