Templer Park

Templer Park is a forest reserve in Rawang, Gombak District, Selangor, Malaysia. The 1,214-hectare forest reserve was named after Sir Gerald Templer, a British High Commissioner in Malaya. "On 8 September 1954, His Highness the Sultan of Selangor, the late Sultan Hishamuddin Alam Shah declared that Templer’s Park was 'dedicated by Selangor to serve as a refuge and a sanctuary for wildlife and a meeting-place for all who love and respect the beauty of nature'. The following year the government gazetted the area as “a Botanical Garden and Public Park” under the land enactment ".

Threats from development

Developments such as T-Parkland@Templer's Park by the company MCT involved the construction of high-end residences, a 17-story tower block and golf courses. In addition, currently some 50 hectares have been cleared for a road and more residences. This activity had the consent of the local planning authorities, where the site sign carried the license number 'US HS 3 2012 BALAK'. ==Accessibility==
