If you are looking for relaxing outdoor things to do near Bell Suites, a visit to Giverny Park (Sunsuria City) in Sepang, Selangor is a wonderful addition to your itinerary. Spanning 14 to 15 acres, this beautifully landscaped central park serves as the green lung of the township. Inspired by Claude Monet’s French gardens in Giverny, France, the park blends French-themed scenery with open recreational spaces, offering an uplifting, family-friendly outing during your halal-friendly stay.
Scenic Highlights and Family Activities
Entry to the park is completely free, and the grounds are open 24 hours daily (with the most pleasant visiting times being 7:00 AM – 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM to avoid midday heat). At the heart of the park is a 9-acre central lake equipped with fountain aerators, a signature Monet-style feature bridge, and peaceful water lily and lotus ponds.
Families and fitness enthusiasts will find plenty of amenities to enjoy:
- Recreation & Fitness: Flat, well-paved tracks encircling the lake are ideal for jogging, cycling, and morning walks. Outdoor gym equipment, reflexology walkways, and a basketball court are also available.
- Leisure & Play: Expansive grassy lawns provide ample space for family picnics, alongside a dedicated children’s playground.
- Photography: Large white gazebos and colorful flowering garden beds offer scenic photo backdrops, especially during golden hour.
Getting There from Bell Suites
Giverny Park is situated just 1.0 to 1.5 km south of Bell Suites, making it exceptionally easy to access:
- On Foot: A pleasant 12 to 15-minute walk along the pedestrian-friendly paths of Persiaran Sunsuria toward the Monet residential enclaves.

Muslim-Friendly Tips and Halal Dining
To ensure a seamless visit for Muslim travelers, keep these practical points in mind:
- Prayer Options: While there is no dedicated standalone surau inside the park greenery, Bell Suites and the Bell Avenue podium house resident prayer facilities. Nearby prayer spaces include Surau Al-Hijrah Kota Warisan (~1.5 km away) and Masjid Ar-Redha in Kampung Jenderam Hulu (a 5–8 minute drive). If you wish to stay through prayer times, you can bring a portable prayer mat (sejadah) and telekung to pray under the shaded gazebos.
- Halal Food Nearby: Adjacent to the park at Giverny Walk, you can dine at Lakeside Thai Pot Steamboat & Grill for halal Thai dishes overlooking the water. You can also explore local cafes at Bell Avenue or take a 2 to 4-minute drive to Jasper Square and Kota Warisan for Malay options like Zaleena Nasi Kukus, local tom yam, and nasi campur.
- Comfort & Attire: Standard modest sportswear (dry-fit shirts, track pants, sports hijabs) is ideal. Remember to pack sunscreen and mosquito repellent for evening strolls.
