Everyone runs around Lake Gardens or KLCC, but Desa Park City offers 8km of car-free paths through an actual neighborhood where locals live.

Take the MRT to Taman Tun Dr Ismail, then it's a 10-minute walk to the park entrance. The loop goes around man-made lakes, past playgrounds, and through green corridors designed for residents. Completely flat, well-lit, and safe even before sunrise.

Water fountains every kilometer, clean toilets at the community center, and a decent café called The Sphere for post-run coffee. Best early morning around 6am when it's coolest.
