Amazing to find a real jungle in the middle of a very busy city! No car noises or car exhaust fumes, just sounds of insects! Trails were muddy and rocky, and no concrete paths. Of course, hot and humid!
Trails very well marked and almost impossible to get lost. Need to be relatively fit and agile to enjoy the uneven steps. Not at all suitable for wheelchairs or prams.
Went on a public holiday. Spent about 2 hours hiking on circular routes - real hiking, up and down, not on concrete! Many other hikers but it didn't feel at all crowded.
At car park, a musician was singing and others were selling fresh coconuts and other snacks. Toilet facilities available at car park (but didn't use them so can't comment), also picnic tables.
Very difficult to access without a car. Had to walk a very long way from public transport, and many places on route had no pedestrian path.

I'm a hardcore mountain biker with a passion for opening new trails through virgin jungle. That's my baseline. Taman Tugu is very good for what it sets out to do: a jungle experience suitable for everyone in our capital.
The park has been open since the end of 2018 and I'm sorry to admit I only heard about it recently. A visit from my tween mall-crawling neices was just the excuse needed to visit.
We arrived at the main entrance at 4:30pm where a wedding reception was in full swing at the visitors area. Free parking, no entrance fees, water dispensers, a drinks fridge with payment based on a trust, clean toilets, a cool covered waiting area and Free Tree Society nursery. We were off to a good start!
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this park. A mix of well maintained double tracks with single track connectors for the more adventurous, good trail markers, an abundance of maps, labelled trees and info panels. Trail network is currently just under 5km. Trail gradients are gentle but may be an effort for those with knee problems. Info panels provided glimpe of the area's history from British colonial housing to a dumpsite to the current park.
Highly recommended for 1 or 2 hours of light exercise. Trail network is mostly under tree cover and is cool. However would recommend visiting early morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday humidity. Park hours are 7am to 6:30pm everyday.
For tourists, this park is a option to visit along with the sites around Lake Gardens.

The 3km trail is well kept. There are swings along the trail. No rubbish what so ever. Due to COVID 19 precaution, they set the trail as one way, amount of people going in are limited, temperature and QR code scanning is compulsory upon entry. It is kids friendly. Me and my husband managed to bring our three years old without having to carry him.
The trail is light. There are slight elevation gain. But most of the trail is flat. You will notice small creeks and tree with markers along the way. There are info board at every check point.
No admission fees. Feel free to donate or purchase the merchandise they sell at the trail exit. I hope they will maintain this jungle in the middle of concrete jungle.

I love Taman Tugu (Tugu Park). Discovered it whilst looking for a park where I can hunt for insects in their natural habitat to do macro photography. Taman Tugu was perfect as the insects are protected under a canopy of trees, so they are out hunting for food all time of the day. Being a forest trail, I am shaded too under the canopy of forest trees and I have discovered wild insects which I am not able to find in other parks. There are 5 trails in Tmn Tugu and they are all interlink. The trails are undulating but not difficult to walk. Just ensure you have water, long track pants and mosquito repellent. The mosquitoes are like Dracula and will hover around you for food.
If you don’t fancy photography or a forest walk, pack a picnic basket and head to Gate 1 where they have covered areas with tables, benches, toilet and even water dispenser for a nice picnic with your family

Not many cities you will find a tropical forest smack in the middle of it. Yup, Taman Tugu surprises us with its 3km walking trail amongst the green filled with Oxygen. It was really a refreshing experience and it is properly guided so everyone follows the trail in a single way.
To get there, use waze: Taman Tugu Nursery and it will lead you to an open carpark. This place is highly recommended.

Went with four adults and two toddlers after reading many positive reviews.
As others have said, the trails are clearly marked and well-kept. There are 5 different trails, each between 1 and 1.5 km in length.
We did two shorter trails that both led out to a swingset.
We observed many plants as well as monkeys, squirrels, and butterflies.
Our biggest takeaway was that this is not a good place to bring a stroller as the trails are too steep and have many stairs. If coming with a small child, it is best to carry them on shoulders or in a baby carrier.

There are several well-marked trials through the forest. The longest loop is about 3km. There are steps both up and down but not for very long stretches, but those with knee problems may have difficulty. There are also ample seats to rest along the way and swings! Currently due to Covid restrictions, you are directed to go in one direction only. Very worth a visit and will be going again!

Absolutely amaze with the trial as beginner. Tranquillity and serenity with clear sign board direction exhibited. Clean toilet and environment.
This is very suitable for family great escape from the hustle and bustle of city life.
May hope a cafe will open

Went there with 2 kids, both under 9 years old. Track fairly flat and well marked with lots of fauna to observe and appreciate.
Good SOPs in place. Only one way trail allowed to avoid crowding.

Is the trail steep climbing ?
Written 14 April 2019
Trail is easy and kids friendly. Very little parts have lots of steps, yet kids can enjoy the trail. There’s lots of checkpoints and rest areas. Bring along at least a bottle of 600ml water per person to keep you hydrated.
