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:
“Thou didst create the night, but I made the lamp.
Thou didst create clay, but I made the cup.
Thou didst create the deserts, mountains and forests,
I produced the orchards, gardens and groves.
It is I who made the glass out of stone,
And it is I who turn a poison into an antidote.”
—Muhammad, Sir Iqbal (1873–1938)
“The devout have laid out gardens in the desert.”
—Robert Duncan (b. 1919)
“It is closing time in the gardens of the West and from now on an artist will be judged only by the resonance of his solitude or the quality of his despair.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
