1. Taman Saujana Hijau

Located at Putrajaya, Taman Saujana Hijau is the picnic spot at the top of our list! Filled with shady pine trees, pretty slopes, and a beautifully-landscaped park, it's no wonder people have been flocking here for picnic and photography sessions.

This 41-hectare park consists of 3 gardens for you to choose from: a European Garden, an Oriental Garden, and an English Garden. There are tons of open spaces for you to spread your mat, admission is free, and you'll be surrounded by lots of pretty flowers!

Address: Jalan P11, Presint 11, 62000 Putrajaya
Opening Hours: 7AM - 7PM

2. KLCC Park

KLCC Park has been a popular picnic and hangout spot all along. There's nothing like enjoying a picnic with the iconic Petronas Twin Towers as your backdrop, and views of the beautiful Lake Symphony.

We recommend heading over close to sunset so you can also catch the colourful fountain show after nightfall. KLCC Park is also extremely family-friendly, your little ones are bound to have a great time at the playground or little pool!

Address: Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur City Centre, 50088, KL
Opening Hours: 7AM - 10PM

3. Desa Park City

Desa Park City is also one of our favourites! Blessed with a picturesque lake and lots of lush greenery, it's a perfect spot for an evening picnic after a fun jog (the park offers jogging pathways with loops ranging from 1km to 2.3km!).

Dog lovers will be delighted to know that this is a dog-friendly park! Lots of people in the neighbourhood head over to walk their dogs around the park - so you'll have the chance to encounter some fur babies while you're here.

4. Perdana Botanical Garden

Formerly known as Taman Tasik Perdana or Lake Gardans, the Perdana Botanical Garden has been the green lung of KL for over a decade. Some attractions here include a 4-metre high waterfall, fountains, and a colonial-style building that has been converted into a gallery. Allocate enough time for your picnic and to explore all this beautiful 227-acre park has to offer!

Address: Jalan Kebun Bunga, Tasik Perdana, 55100 Kuala Lumpur
Opening Hours: 7AM - 8PM

5. Kepong Metropolitan Park

Also known as Taman Layang-Layang Metropolitan Kepong, the Kepong Metropolitan Park is a popular kite-flying spot loved by the locals. Spread your picnic mat and lay back with views of a sky filled with pretty kites (the 'professional' kite flyers will even amaze you with some special tricks!). If you'd like to have a go yourself, there are usually plenty of stalls here where you can get your own kite! Stay till the evening to catch a pretty sunset by the lake.

Address: Jalan Lingkaran Tengah 2, Kepong Metropolitan Lake-garden, 52100, KL
Opening Hours: 6AM - 8PM

6. Titiwangsa Lake Garden

A calming green oasis nestled in the heart of the bustling city, the Titiwangsa Lake Garden overlooks the city skyline and offers lots of fun for outings with family or friends. Besides airy spaces for picnics (including picnic tables and benches for you to opt for if you're not keen on sitting crosslegged ton he ground), there are also lots of jogging and cycling paths around the lake, as well as a large children's playground, boating lake, and even a maze garden.

Address: Tasik, Titiwangsa, 53200 Kuala Lumpur
Opening Hours: 7AM - 7PM

7. Kanching Rainforest Waterfall

If you're looking for a picnic spot in the great outdoors, this one's for you! Kanching Rainforest Waterfall is set in a forest reserve in the Rawang district, located an easy half an hour to 45 minutes drive from KL. It's popular for picnics, camping, jungle trekking, and swimming.

The star of this destination is definitely the 7-tier waterfall which you can hike up, swim in, and picnic next to. The waterfall cascades a height of 120m and is definitely a majestic sight to behold. Be sure to pack your swimsuit or an extra set of clothes if you're planning to take a refreshing dip!

Opening Hours: 6AM - 8PM

8. Bagan Lalang Beach

Pantai Bagan Lalang may not be the prettiest beach, but it's laid-back and great for those who miss the ocean breeze, sand, and sun. This beach in Sepang is a 1 and a half hours drive from KL, and is located not too far from KLIA Airport. It is popular amongst families and is a great spot to relax and unwind - beautiful sunsets included!
