Taman Merdeka

The park was officially launched in 2011 as a community recreational park. The park was studied in 2020 by the University of Malaysia as a case study on the use of urban green spaces in Malaysia. The study found, among other things, that most visitors went there to "de-stress" and felt safe there. The park is used much more in the morning and most visitors drive there, both presumably due to the "hot and humid tropical climate".

Taman Merdeka

The park is named after the murals and landmarks dotting it. These murals and landmarks are references to events celebrating the struggle for independence, the independence itself and thus, self-determination from the British colonial power
