It has been more than three years since my last visit to Taman Tun Fuad, when I went trekking up the nearby hill with a group of friends on 18.11.2022 (Read here). That outing took place barely three weeks before the park was closed for a major RM20 million upgrading project.
Originally scheduled for completion within two years by 18.09.2024, the project unfortunately fell behind schedule. A revised reopening date of 14.07.2025 also came and went without success. Eventually, the park was partially reopened on 27.10.2025, although numerous finishing works and attractions remain incomplete.
To welcome the new year, I decided to take a walk in Taman Tun Fuad on the second day of 2026, hoping to see for myself what a RM20 million facelift has delivered.
The upgraded park is planned to feature an impressive range of themed gardens, including a botanical garden, herb garden, orchard garden, ginger garden and palm garden. Other highlights include a bamboo corner, Belian Walk, Flora Walk, boardwalk, Nostalgia Bridge, and several hiking tracks designed for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
At present, however, only the 2.1 km jogging trail and a few hiking paths are open to the public. Many of the new attractions are still barricaded and remain off-limits, suggesting that the long-awaited transformation of Taman Tun Fuad is still very much a work in progress.
With its expanded attractions and upgraded facilities, Taman Tun Fuad promises to be a much-improved green space, offering KK residents and visitors an enjoyable spot for a relaxing morning or afternoon.
