Curiosity, Thoughts and Whatever...

Thought I do a write up on this. I love the park. I like how tidy and beautiful the place is landscape. Before this I thought the park in my area was the most beautiful and most modern considering that it has 2 separate lake, a restaurant, huge area for parking and a fountain. Man, was I wrong. I just love how Metropolitan Park are design. It has 3 separated lane for bicycle, jogging track and a walking track running parallel with each other. To top it all off, the jogging track are laid with those soft compound which you find in international race track event. Its soft blue colour track just attract your attention and hence make jogging much easier. It so nice and fun jogging on it. No ache or pain complaining sore feet as the force and impact of your sore is minimize with a the soft rubbery flooring.

Walking around the park, I notice it is very wide..........comparable to "my" park. However, another stand up attraction was the viewing tower or observatory tower perched high up 5 storey above ground Then there was the small open ground for kite flying and etc. Perhaps its a new area cause I notice that everything from the path way to the trees and bushes are all very well kept and maintain. Pristine clean and tidy which is a rarity in a developing country.

Anyway, I also observed that there was quite a nice kids playground with all the latest and child friendly equipment being used. In addition, while I was there, a gov body was having a family day gathering with tents , table and chairs all setup. During an hour or more there, I manage to see 2 DBKL officer or was it cops riding on horses making patrol around the park. They were dress decently, neatly and presentable which befits a tourist attraction park. I still remember the world famous Hyde Park in central London. If was huge, clean tidy and above all well maintain and run.

Now, I think KMP have a huge potential as a tourist attraction. Perhaps add some water fountain, some fishes in the lake or river (I mean nice good fishes and not tilapia) then it would attract some tourist instead of just joggers and residence nearby. I didn't really get a chance to really run or tour the whole place yet but I saw some nice landscaping with the use of bamboo around the observation tower. I always like landscape with bamboo providing the backdrop and shades to the surrounding area. It is peaceful and the tranquillity can smoothen our emotion. While I was there (both times in the morning), I didn't see any rowdy youth or any of those smooching couples bringing public park a bad name. I mean if you go around some public parks you can find this quite widespread and a common scenario. Hopefully this beautiful place can be maintained for quite some time.
