<p>Urban forests offer vital resources that support life, health, social interactions, and the freedom to make choices and take actions, all of which are considered fundamental psychological needs for individuals’ subjective well-being. There is a notable lack of research on forest-specific subjective well-being, especially in the Global South, such as Malaysia. This research explores the subjective well-being outcomes of individuals utilizing three urban community forests (UCF) situated in greater Kuala Lumpur, based on an analysis of data gathered from 320 respondents. Physical activities (88%), nature observation (60%), and relaxation in natural environments (62%), are the main reasons respondents come to UCF. Over 85% of respondents expressed agreement, ranging from “agree” to “strongly agree,” about the importance of UCF across seven measures of subjective well-being. Logistic regression results show that age, education, distance, and activities (such as physical activity, viewing nature, and meeting with friends and family) in UCF are significantly linked to various aspects of respondents’ subjective well-being. The importance of UCF, especially regarding the well-being of elderly individuals, is considerable. Therefore, suggestions are put forward for the nationwide expansion of UCF to ensure equitable access and utilization by residents, aimed at improving subjective well-being.</p>
