【06】Best Parks & Jogging Trails in Puchong to Escape the Jam

Because Sometimes, You Just Need Trees Instead of Traffic

Let’s be real — if you live in Puchong, you’re probably no stranger to jam. Not the strawberry kind. The 6PM-LDP-parking-lot kind.

But what most people forget is that Puchong isn’t just roads and roundabouts — it’s also home to some surprisingly peaceful green pockets, perfect for walking, jogging, or pretending you’re training for a marathon.

Here are some of the best parks and jogging trails in Puchong to help you reset, recharge, and maybe sweat a little.

1. Wawasan Hill (Bukit Wawasan)

Nature trail + light hiking = cardio with a view

• Location: Taman Wawasan
   
• Type: Forest trail / hiking
   
• Why Go: This isn’t your typical jogging track — it’s an actual forest trail with uphill terrain, perfect for light hikers and weekend warriors.
   
• Pro Tip: Go early (before 9AM) to avoid the heat and find parking. Wear proper shoes — it’s not a flat walk!
   

2. Taman Wawasan Recreational Park

Lakeside chill meets family-friendly vibes

• Location: Right next to Bukit Wawasan
   
• Type: Flat jogging loop with a lake
   
• Why Go: If the hill’s too much, this park’s for you. You’ve got a lake, open space, and wide jogging paths, great for casual walks or stroller runs with your toddler.
   
• Facilities: Playground, benches, and even some shaded spots to sit and zen out.
   

 3. Taman Tasik Puchong Perdana

Scenic lake, mosque view, and quiet mornings

• Location: Puchong Perdana
   
• Type: Jogging path around a lake
   
• Why Go: Not many people know about this one, which makes it a hidden gem. The view of the mosque across the lake is especially pretty at sunrise.
   
• Best Time to Visit: Early morning or sunset. Bonus points if you bring a camera.
   

4. Ayer Hitam Forest Reserve

Serious jungle vibes for the bold

• Location: Border of Puchong & Seri Kembangan
   
• Type: Hiking trail / Nature walk
   
• Why Go: This is more for the adventurous types. It’s raw nature — expect some mud, bugs, and tree roots. But the reward? Absolute peace.
   
• Important: Check if it's open — it’s managed by UPM and may have restricted access.
   

‍ 5. IOI Boulevard to IOI Mall Walkway

Urban jog with city feels

• Location: Bandar Puchong Jaya
   
• Type: Sidewalk path + light urban trail
   
• Why Go: For those who like city lights and coffee after cardio. Jog or walk between IOI Boulevard and IOI Mall — then reward yourself with a flat white at your favorite café.
   
• Vibe: City joggers, lunchtime power walkers, and Pokémon GO survivors.
   

‍ Bonus: Any Gated & Guarded Community with a Loop

Let’s not forget the hidden luxury: if you live in a gated & guarded neighbourhood, chances are you’ve got a peaceful internal loop, perfect for safe evening walks without dodging cars.

One good example? Senai Puchong – a new low-density landed home project with its own internal greenery and community space. Ideal if you want daily walks without leaving home.

 Final Thoughts

Puchong may be known for its jam, but if you know where to look, there’s plenty of nature to balance out the chaos.

Whether you're in the mood for a forest hike, a lakeside stroll, or a sunset run through your neighbourhood, these spots prove that you don’t have to leave Puchong to find peace.

Next time you feel the stress building up — step away from Waze, grab your sneakers, and hit one of these trails.
