Tasik Taman Jaya

Tasik Taman Jaya is probably one of the very few lake/​park located in the heart of Petaling Jaya which is right opposite of Amcorp Mall Petaling Jaya and in close proximity to a LRT station. I would always pass by this lake almost every time when I need to travel to Petaling Jaya for tasks. I noticed that many locals will come to the Taman Jaya lake for morning/​evening jogs around the lake as the lake has quite a nice walking path along the lake.
During the weekends, normally you would see people coming to this Taman Jaya lake for fishing, however I’m not sure whether is it illegal to fish at this lake or whether do you need any prior license or permit to fish. I am not too sure about the security or the safety of jogging at the Taman Jaya Lake, but if you do plan to come here for recreationally purposes, it is advisable to come with friends or at least have a pepper spray with you (especially ladies!).
On the outlook, this is actually a good place for people to do some jogging and hang out by the lake especially for the local residents here.

Let’s face it. Everyone has had and will continue to have their share of woes every now and then. In this fast paced world that continues to pick up speed especially as the time passes, sometimes all you need is a good hour to clear your head and just relax! What better way to do that than chill out the an amazing park while LITERALLY smelling the roses?
Tasik Taman Jaya is open to the public 7 days a week, but if you’re big on the whole solitary thing, I would advise you to avoid the weekends as it tends to get a little crowded during that time. Like every park they have a playground, several picnic spots (in the open spaces or under a small roof), jogging trails and of course their main attraction: the lake. If you have a permit, the management would allow you the opportunity of fishing in that area as well!
Since the entire park is very well maintained, it would make the perfect spot for a photography session! It’s scenic background complete with fully bloomed trees and water fountains also makes the park an absolutely gorgeous spot to to kick back with a good book. So turn off that gadget, grab a picnic basket and your woman/​man/​relative/​pet iguana for a relaxing day at this little spot where the lines between heaven and earth are blurred.

This is a place that I will pass by everyday when going back from work. It is facing the Federal Highway, near Amcorp Mall. This is a park that you can come for jogging after work. For me, it is very convenient because this is the nearest park I can go for exercise after working. I am not sure weekend, but I guess it will have more crowd. However, in normal day, it is just few people.
This park isn’t very big like those recreation park, however, with a beautiful lake view. You definitely can calm your nerve down after a busy working day. But, the bad thing is it is beside highway, so it is not avoidable to see the traffic jam and smell the smoke.
Other than that, this park is well-​maintained. Hence, it makes me feel happier to enjoy my after work hour much. Overall, Tasik Taman Jaya is a park for whom love the nature and have exercise. Since it is well-​maintained, you should take care of it too.

I don’t need concerts or night clubs to calm myself down whenever I got intp some kind of troubles or something. I need somewhere that makes me back to basic. Somewhere that I could feels that I’m being hugged by the mother nature. Well, Lake is one of them and there’s a lake that appears to be on top of the list — the Taman Jaya Lake.
Though I always giving excuses on my jogging schedules but that doesn’t mean I’m not go to the lakes often. There’re so many people especially during the mornings and evenings of weekends. Loves seeing the aunties and uncles practising their Tai Chi every morning though. Thought wanna join them until I realised that I could make the session a bit messy.
The lake is not that big after all but the views is so magnificent will the Amcorp building as the background. Who need a fancy high-​brows skycrapers when we got this kind of lake in the middle of a city. Something that I proud.
