Perdana Botanical Garden was originally created as part of a recreational park in Kuala Lumpur. It was previously a tin mine and the site of British colonial administration. The gardens feature man-made attractions like a waterfall, fantasy playground, and sunken garden. It also has a fish pond, outdoor activity area, and mostly plant gardens. Common activities include boat riding, jogging, and cycling. The park utilizes materials like stones, wood, and tiles to build pathways, shelters, and other structures throughout the botanical gardens.
