Tired of being chased by monkeys of Bukit Jati every time cycling up the hill, I've change last evening trail headed to the town. The destination, Taman Pengkalan Batu.  The park located beside the Sungai Klang and about 5.3 acre along the river. This park was equipped with fishing deck, gazebo, walking path, playground and a square for recreational. 


As usual I'll use Lorong Azmi as a warming up runway till main road Jalan Kota Raja and turn right to the town. Then turn left at Jalan Dato Hamzah passing Sekolah Kebangsaan Klang, TM and Pejabat Agama and turn into Jalan Stesen till t-junction. The junction is exactly in front of KTM Kommuter Klang which right will take you back to Jalan Kota Raja and left will lead you to Jalan Tengku Kelana (Jambatan Tengku Kelana). Take left.


On Jambatan Tengku Kelana there is an exit point for pedestrian and cyclist to get down to the Taman Pengkalan Batu. As first timer I wonder what would KTM workshop look like. I took a short tour into the area and turn back to the Taman Pengkalan Batu.  At the park, follow the path along the river till the end. It will take you pass the fishing decks and gazebos. You can continue with Jalan Lembaga Bandaran but I choose to return back to the square. 


There is a historical monument in that area. 1961 Jambatan Kota Klang, the double decked bridge. The bridge was used between 1960's to 1990's. Currently still being used by pedestrian and cyclist as a short cut that link Klang Utara and Klang Selatan. Make the historical cross and come back to the park. Next destination ?

While all the ride to the park only took 20 minutes, I've decided to add another spot in this trail. Which is Taman Diraja Klang located next to Istana Alam Shah and Little India of Klang. This ride took a mild climbing, the road is kindof  narrow. So, ride on pedestrian path along Jalan Istana. The road will pass the Royal Klang Club, lead you till the palace and one round to the top of the hill. The whole hill is the royal park. Get down from the hill and take left into Jalan Limau , another left into Jalan Raja Jumaat until reaching Jalan Kota Raja. 


At the Jalan Kota Raja, take left to the town and turn right into Lorong Azmi to get back to Jalan Demang 6. It took about an hour for easy ride to complete. End of route.

Next trail. Have you ever been to Taman Rakyat Klang, Andalas ?
