About Hutan Bandar MBJB

Hutan Bandar MBJB, the Johor Bahru City Forest, is a 50-acre (about 20 ha) recreation park where the council kept the original landform and cut as few trees as possible. Planning began in 1987 with help from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. Seven small lakes sit close together among the trees and are used for fishing contests, with paths for walking and jogging, a children's adventure playground and a 16-stall food court, Gerai Atap Belian.

Inside the park is the Johor Bahru Orchid Garden (Taman Orkid), opened in 2003 on about 10 acres, with displays of wild local orchids and a nursery. Locals come early in the morning and in the late afternoon to exercise; at midday it is hot, so bring water and insect repellent.
