Review: Tanjung Lipat track was officially open earlier this year 2014. It is equipped with numerous stations for body weight workout, bicycle stops and street light. The best recommended time to run on this track would be sunset because you could enjoy the sunset and the sea breeze in the same time. Nothing is more refreshing and revitalizing than catching the fresh air of KK and reminiscing all the good old days of yours under the beautiful KK sunset. The tracks are mainly flat with colored tarred road. This is definitely one of the best place to jog, except for certain sections of congested breeze walking people and cyclist zooming through occasionally. You will be finding stalls along the way and bringing small cash would be nice to reward yourself after a good jog. As usual, do be careful and always jog in pairs or group to avoid unwanted incident.
2. Tanjung Aru Perdana Park
Distant: 2 - 3km approx
Route: Tanjung Aru Perdana Park route map
Amenities: Toilet is available
Review: Tanjung Aru Perdana park is located near KKIA 2 terminal. It is one of the highly visited jogging track in KK. They are also well known for the free musical fountain with periodically performance. The tracks are soft and it has small section of incline and decline which is great for burning more calories. It is relatively safe to jog because of the fence up security and guard house at the entrance.
