Green Space

Today was our last full day in Kuala Lumpur. The city has so much to offer and we very much have enjoyed our time here. One thing that really stood out to us about KL is the abundance of green space that lies within the city center and is accessible to the public. Over the past few days we have taken some serious time to explore parks, running trails, nature reserves, botanical gardens, and a bird aviary (which we would have explored if we had the $18/pp for entrance fee). It is not just the organized green space that is impressive, but every road, underpass, and building entry is filled with foliage and is well manicured with healthy plants. Sometimes it felt as if the city was doing it's very best to keep the surrounding jungle from taking back over.  
Heidi was so excited to see a field of grass. Involuntary frolicking ensued. 

This is a great park right behind the Petronas Towers. Complete with running track, kiddie pool, and mosque...why not?

Small Adam, big Banyan Tree.

Walking through the Lake Gardens Park. It is the "Central Park" of KL.

Visiting the Hibiscus garden. We didn't even know what a Hibiscus looked like prior to this visit.

The Jungle, creeping back in.
