A Walk In The Park
Let's see... how long has it been since we made a point to walk around Taman Tasik Cempaka in Bangi? Ages!
We always come to the area near the park for our dinner or to "lepak" at McD but not so much to enjoy the park. My last blog post on our "training" at Taman Tasik Cempaka was in 2012! (Read here) Used to head there once or twice a month, run a bit and then visit the Pasar Tani nearby and buy "Nasi Ambang" for our brunch. ^^
Had lunch at McD on Sunday and enjoyed a spot of caffeine too so we decided to burn the calories consumed (well, a bit of it, anyway) with a stroll in the park. ^^
Let's start our walk! The weather was nice for a walk too.
Taman Tasik Cempaka is quite nice, if not for the fact that it's rather dirty. Rubbish strewn everywhere! I mean, everywhere!
That said, the facilities are in good order. Two big playgrounds for kids to enjoy. Workout spots with most in good condition.
Son loves trying out the facilities.
Anyone read this when they're in the park? We did. ;-)
One of the reason I used to run in this park:
It has distance marker. Quite handy for those without gadgets to calculate their distance done.
The jogging path is quite narrow at one side of the park so I suppose it's quite congested on early weekend mornings to run here. Much respect to Gme who does his LSD here!
Gme, with the loops you do at Taman Tasik Cempaka (17 and above) I think that B2E should be a piece of cake for you! hehehe

Chop! Anay first one here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a healthy family lifestyle you conduct! After run, makan lah or vice versa. Good parks with lakes are rare to find in our country yet many people are lazy to walk there, let alone read the signs... I do read everything and even analyze the materials used to make their outdoor signs! That's me!
Now your grown up son is appearing in most of your shots like a teen celebrity walking the trails of his famous mama! That adds more life and excitement for us to enjoy the photos. Someday he might start blogging and snap photos of his parents running instead! Wakakakaa
DeleteDei... I thought I always use him as a model one? LOL
DeleteHopefully he won't turn into a diva blogger lah. MUAHAHA
I think if for me I won't go read the history board lo, maybe just walk passed by only, hehe!!!
ReplyDeleteReally?
DeleteI always thoght you are the observant one by the minute details in your posts. :)
Hahaha, it only happens if I was alone...coz have nothing to do mah..so used to be that observant lo!!! =]
DeleteI remember Nasi Ambang post! I dun remember it being Taman Tasik Cempaka though hehe.
ReplyDeleteThere are 2 places I mkn nasi ambang. Another one at lake garden ;-)
DeleteYeah .. maybe i never put mkn n running in one post earlier :-D
terharu nya saya. jom, lari ttc.
ReplyDeleteSaiko! lol
DeleteGme buat 17++ loops kat TTC? my oh my. I pun dah lama tak ke situ. It used to be my training ground too. Hehe.
DeleteGme gigih
Deletelama dah xbuat recovery run/jog/walk kat taman tasik cempaka nih... Last arituh lepas SCKLM 2013 rasanya... Sempat gakla tawaf tasik bersama Ketua Jajahan Tasik Cempaka nih si G-me (G for Gigih)... Lepas puas tawaf pace gossiping, makan McRecovery Meals lak di McD... Self-rewarding hahaa...
ReplyDeleteLps ni leh reward dgn Milo pulak mcm Gme buat ;-)
DeletePasti akan cuba ikut jejak idola internationale ini... buat HM hamster loop there n Milo Ais yang refreshing tuh... hehee... =)
DeleteThe lake looks kinda dirty... Haih, there're just many uncivilized people out there!
ReplyDeleteYup. Sadly enough
DeleteI like to go park to jog or walk, but that has to depend on weather... If it's rain, can't go :(
ReplyDeleteI ran in heavy rain last week! Lol
DeleteMakan n walking. Cool...
ReplyDeleteRunning, walking ad makan also cool! LOL
Deletehoooiiii!!! the new, limited time only McD butterscotch sundae!! iks, i actually wanted to try that this afternoon, but then walked past McD and didn't remember to get myself a cup, haha!! now that you reminded me, maybe i can have that tomorrow..
ReplyDeleteBut too sweet for me. I like chocolate better. :P
Deleteyeah, can see the weather was nice that day.. thick clouds covering the sky and i assume it was not that hot and best to take a walk in the park in this weather.. well, we couldn't ask for more in Malaysia right, as long as it's not hot then it's already "cool" for us.. :p
ReplyDeleteYup. Can actually run at 2pm. How nice. ^^
Deletethe park seems to be very quiet and i wonder if there were any other people there besides Pak Glam, Mak Glam and Nak Glam?? good also to have the park all by yourself lah, feels like HRH The Royal Family having your own private park with nice landscape and facilities (forget about the garbage)..
ReplyDeleteGot lah... Of course I look for angle that has no one in it. Anyway, most were at the playground area or couples sitting by the lake. Not trying out the workout tools! LOL
Deleteand the history of kajang nicely erected there.. errr, who will be reading that?? i guess if i were there, i would have read that also.. well, pretending to read while trying to catch up with gasping more breath lah.. :p
ReplyDeleteThere's also info on other areas and districts in Selangor. It's a nice touch but yeah, doubt many read it. But even if not many did, I still like and appreciate the idea :)
DeleteHaha...you gotta work extra hard to shed off the McDonald's calories !
ReplyDeleteI doubt a 30min walk can shed off that many but a little goes a long way, right? LOL
DeleteIt looks like a nice place to take a stroll & gosh, those drinks are making me so thirsty now!! Lol!
ReplyDeleteI wanna have some too but it's too late at night! LOL
DeleteUnlikely to go that place lo. here also a lot of taman but we have yet to explore
ReplyDeleteIts great that they have mantained the facilities there . Well kept. Some parks i see within one or two years the swing and all the kids playground rosak liao. nobody take care
DeleteUnlikely or otherwise.... if lalu no harm exploring ^^
