Parking was easy and we started the hike well, brought along my dog (German Shepard) and she thoroughly enjoyed herself. There are not toilets around the area and not many bins, so remember to keep your trash with you. During rainy season it can get quite slippery.

I wanted to write this review whilst the experience was still fresh in my mind. My wife Angie and i got up early this morning to explore and climb the hill at Shah Alam Community Forest. People who had visited this place advised that we go before it got too hot in the day as there were areas without tree cover resulting in high temperatures. This forest is relatively unknown and little has been written about it in comparison to its neighbor the Shah Alam Botanical gardens. We were glad we visited the forest. Once past about 250 meters from the entrance, one enters the forest proper. There is then good cover from the blazing sun provided by the trees and the temperature drops to a comfortable 27 - 28 degrees ; a cool breeze was blowing as we walked and this added to our comfort. This was probably the site of an old oil palm estate as we saw many old oil palm trees. The walking tract was narrow and slippery and steep in several places - certainly not a good place to visit if it had rained recently. Angie and I slipped and fell, in spite of taking precautions on our way down ; we found the support of walking sticks very useful. Surprisingly there were no mosquitoes though Angie felt that several were following and buzzing about her neck on our way down. We had taken the precaution of applying mosquito repellent before we started our hike. After about 40 minutes of walking in our senior citizen phase, we reached the summit. Though the sun was high up in the sky it was not too hot and we had beautiful views of the distant mountains and Shah Alam city. Unlike what others have written, I feel you must be physically fit to undertake this hike and it would not be suitable for young children.

My favourite place to let my kids run freely and embark in outdoor playground. There are playground, swings, jogging track, lake, trees and also foods. Carpark is something to compete for here...but timing is important, come early to avoid the traffic congestion. Overall, the place is getting better and looking forward for more new features there.

The National Botanical Garden Shah Alam or Taman Botani Negara Shah Alam (TBNSA) which was previously known as TPM and which was initially known as Bukit Cherakah Agriculture Park was developed on 24th April 1986 before it was promulgated as the Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam Agriculture Park Malaysia by the late Almarhum Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Al-Haj ibni Hishamuddin Alam Shah Al-Haj in 1991. The name TBNSA conferred to the park now is in line with the decision made by the Cabinet of Ministers in 2007 to further develop TBNSA as a replacement to TPM as national botanical garden. The objective for the development of TBNSA is to create a national center of excellence within the fields of education, scientific research and conservation for the development of botanical, horticulture, agriculture and other various related fields.
