KL Forest Eco Park (formerly known as Bukit Nanas Forest Reserve) is one of the oldest permanent forest reserves in the country and the only one in the world that’s in the heart of a city. It is well maintained by the Forestry Department of Peninsular Malaysia which preserves the natural flora and fauna in the area. Locals frequent KL Forest Eco Park for the hiking trails that are laid out throughout the reserve. The trails vary in difficulty and are suitable for all ages. There is also a Skywalk that is suspended 20m above ground on one of the trails.
