Taman Saujana Hijau: European-style park
Taman Saujana Hijau is a European-style park that is located in Precinct 11 Putrajaya. It is hard to believe that you can visit a wonderful European Park so near the city centre. But it’s true!
The park is different from the usual Putrajaya parks for its pine trees, Cyprus trees, rolling hills, exotic flowers, and wooden fencing. It occupies nearly 47 hectares of land and has three rolling hills and a ridge. The uniqueness of Taman Saujana Hijau is that it has less tropical planting, which makes this park a foreign-like place.
Taman Saujana Hijau is sectioned into three different theme parks. Or you can say it has three hidden parks in its vast area. The names of these three zones are European Garden, Oriental Garden, and English Garden.
European Garden
Among the three sections, the European Garden is the highest hill, and from here, you can have a spectacular view of Putrajaya. There is a small European style pavilion which is pretty ideal for cycling and jogging. The serene beauty of nature makes this garden a Mediterranean atmosphere. If you’re willing to spend some private time, you should come to this European Garden hill.
Oriental Garden
Oriental Garden will give you a Chinese vibe in this European style park. This section has a Chinese style pavilion and is surrounded by tropical vegetation. The stunning look of this garden will give you numerous spots for photography.

Some tree have fell down. Please move it as soon as possible. I saw some roads has damaged. Please check it and improve it soon. Thank you very much.
A few days ago, I went to European Garden in Putrajaya. I saw many workers took a rest in the pavilions. There was a quite fat worker without clothes in the pavilions from China Bustan. Many huts were old and faded. I saw on plastic bag water on a small slope. Honestly, Our nation garden was so beautiful and attractive. If above imperfect situation can improve it immediately, I want to tell the world that Malaysia government can protect this European Garden in the highest standard all the time.

While I appreciate the updates, it saddens me to see the current condition of the park. When I last visited in 2021, it was a sight to behold! From what you have described, it appears that the damage is quite extensive. I sincerely hope that park authorities take action to restore and protect this natural wonder soon.
