Looking for a quiet day out? Go back to nature at the Agricultural Heritage Park, Putrajaya.
Remember the days when your grandparents would invite you over during durian season to their orchards back in your kampong, and you would sit underneath a durian tree, eating the flesh of the freshly picked fruit? The days when you would laze around groggily in the heat, durian, mangosteen or jackfruit flesh in hand, contentedly savoring the fruit while enjoying the blissful idleness of it all.
Orchards like these with the taller trees would not normally be found so close to the city, but as Perbadanan Putrajaya would have it, there is a place where you can recreate and in a way re-live your childhood memories without having to travel all the way to your grandparents’ place. You have Perbadanan Putrajaya to thank for the Taman Warisan Pertanian, one of the visit-worthy parks in Putrajaya.
The Taman Warisan Pertanian roughly translates into the Agricultural Heritage Park, and is definitely one of the more interesting parks in Putrajaya. I’m not a person with particularly green fingers nor do I care much about agriculture (although I enjoy reaping the benefits, like eating fruits, vegetables and the like), but this park is one of those that can be enjoyed by anyone, not just people who enjoy planting things. The decision-making process to visit this park was simple – I saw the road sign, shrugged “Wwhy not?” and headed there.
Getting to the park is fairly simple – if you’re driving in Putrajaya, you won’t miss the big brown signs that list out the parks in Putrajaya, and the directions to get there. Make sure you keep an eye out for the entrance – a tall sign that vertically spells out the name of the park. I really can’t help you out much if you miss the sign.
If you’re not driving, you can take the ERL from KL Sentral station, and take a cab to the park from the Putrajaya ERL station.
