Flying Kites at Kepong

Second time climbing Batu Cave staircase

Last Sunday I had a wonderful birthday with my darling. I went to Batu Cave for the second time, and dropped by a place when on the way back to PJ. It was a famous kite flying place, well known in Kepong. Thanks to TC for introducing the place to me.

Simple but colourful rainbow kite, it's big!

It was located at the side of the highway, you won't miss it if you are driving on the MRR2 highway. There is a sign board stating "Awas! Kawasan Permainan Layang-layang" something like that, just keep left and you will find an entrance to the park. The parking is free and I find many locals went there for jogging and enjoy kites.

Is'nt it easy?

There is a big nice lake in the park with jogging track around it. Running 1 round would already make u sweat profusely. The scenery is beautiful, a good place for recreational activity. Right beside the parking, one can see many beautiful and colourful kites hanging nicely along the pathway to be sold. The kites are not that expensive, a normal simple one would cost about RM3,5,7 depending on the size and design.

Looks like dear need to run a bit to keep it flying

We bought a RM5 with rainbow colours :) It's big and easy to fly (according to the Tauke) It was windy and many people were on the spacious grassy field. The kites were very nice, got all kinds of cartoons, spiderman, batman, with special design and shape, looks cool! Flying the kite was not as difficult, just leave it on the air opposing the wind, and slowly release it. The wind was strong and it is very easy!

Lots of kites flying in the air. Each of them are unique and beautiful.

It was a fun place to hang out, can't believe there is such a relaxing recreational place with traditional activity going on. So many cars were parked beside the highway when we were leaving at 5 something. So plan a weekend there to relax your mind and bring back your childhood memory!

Our kite in the air!
