    This park was originally an inactive mine. Council's party has found its potential to be developed as a recreation garden since it is situated in the midst of Serdang town.Currently, this area already has children playground and exercise equipment. The budget was allocated from National Landscaping Department. District council has also received budget from Ministry of Culture, Art and Tourism of Malaysia this year to upgrade present components. This includes building new wakaf, providing picnic tables and chairs, building concrete bridges to link two lakes, pedestrian pathway and decorative lights around the park. Council's party also planned to build rest house and floating restaurant to attract tourist to visit Seri Tasik Park. With all the implemented plans and ideas, Council party hopes that Seri Tasik Park will attract tourist attention to this district in the future.
