For the last few centuries, many of us have chosen to live in the city instead of staying at the country side. As more and more cities are built, millions upon millions of human beings are coming for the vibrant life that these cities have to offer. Yet at times we miss the beautiful nature of the country side like hills, lakes, forests, trees, plants, flowers, and birds which are all very dear to us. No wonder cities all around the world build parks to keep us in touch with nature. Today a stroll in the park is going to do our hearts wonder. The trees give us clean oxygen, flowers make us happy, birds and insects sing to us, and not forgetting the exercise we gained by walking around the park.

Although not mentioned in most of the travelling guide books, one of Kota Kinabalu best kept secrets is Tun Fuad Stephens Park (Bukit Padang). Located about 15 minutes away by car from the city centre, Tun Fuad Stephens Park is the only park in Kota Kinabalu that has a lake, which is surrounded by hills on three sides except at the front entrance. The lake was a reservoir (for drinking water) in the old days, and the park was only built in the late 70s.
