Malacca, Malaysia

Recreational Forest and Botanical Gardens

Wikimedia

For those who would like to get some open air, green running in, we recommend heading to the Hutan Rekreasi Ayer Keroh, which is a combination nature preserve and botanical garden. There’s a lot going on in this area: the Taman botanical garden, a zoo, a lake, water park, bird park, and a recreational area with trails, picnic areas, and playgrounds. A private golf course is in this area as well.

For running, it’s a challenge to create a specific route, but several pleasant km can be put together incorporating the paths of the Recreational Forest (MAP), paths in the botanical garden/perimeter road (2.5 km), and some other paths in the area.

Essentials
  • Some modest hills
  • Recreational Forest entrance, off M29, just past the Orang Asli Museum
  • Public transport gets to nearby, but a car is recommended
