PARKS & THE CITY

Tranquility Park East Ledang, Johor

The township of East Ledang houses 31 gardens spread over seven parks, beautifully symbolising 31 days in a month, and seven days in a week. One such space is the Tranquillity Park, consisting of four of the esoteric gardens within its magical landscape. A long rustic path, shaded by trees on both sides, defines the Village Garden. Adding to the country feel is a roofed wooden bridge overlooking a dry stream. The Stairway Garden begins at the bottom of a hill with natural and organic landscaping. Ascending the long flight of steps leads one to a formal garden at the top, in which is a stone pavilion. The descent on the other side takes one to the Swan Garden, a pond with swans, ducks and fish, while a boardwalk traverses the pond, and, hidden amidst the bank of tall grass, is a wooden platform to relax or have a picnic. In the nearby vicinity is the Nature Garden with trees, a shaded sitting area, and a footpath. Builds an unforgettable experience with friendly birds brings happiness and harmonious environment. This is how a living spaces should be.
