Gardens
Permaisuri Lake Gardens is one of three major parks and lake gardens in Kuala Lumpur. It was formerly a tin mine that as part of an urban regeneration strategy was turned into a major area for leisure, recreation and sports. The park and lake gardens were designed by an international consultant team led by the Architect and Urbanist Peter Verity (PDRc) as the first major professionally designed landscape park in Malaysia (see UIA International Architect 6/4). It is maintained by Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL). This lake garden is one of the most beautiful lakes in Malaysia. Many residents from Cheras, Bandar Tun Razak and Kuala Lumpur, utilised the gardens for jogging, picnicking and other recreational purposes. There are some yoga classes conducted in the gardens in the morning while the park is filled with playful children and joggers in the evening.

Famous quotes containing the word gardens:
“These are the Gardens of the Desert, these
The unshorn fields, boundless and beautiful,
And fresh as the young earth, ere man had sinned—”
—William Cullen Bryant (1794–1878)
“Have We not made the earth as a cradle
and the mountains as pegs?
And We created you in pairs,
and We appointed your sleep for a rest;
and We appointed night for a garment,
and We appointed day for a livelihood.
And We have built above you seven strong ones,
and We appointed a blazing lamp
and have sent down out of the rain-clouds water cascading
that We may bring forth thereby grain and plants,
and gardens luxuriant.”
—Qur’an, “The Tiding” 78:6-16, ed. Arthur J. Arberry (1955)
“The devout have laid out gardens in the desert.”
—Robert Duncan (b. 1919)
