Penang Linear Park: Lush Green Landscapes

Located at the residential area in York Road, away from the main roads Linear Park (or Taman Jajar) is a public park which had seen its better days but still somewhat retains a beautiful lush green landscape of old rain trees by the river.

The park can also be accessed from the Suffolk House via a red brick bridge.

Botanic Gardens: A Hidden Japanese Garden

This miniature Japanese Garden was originally created from an exchange programme between the Penang government and the Itabashi city of Japan in 1994. This mini Japanese Garden, used to represent a symbol of friendship between the two cities, was restored in recent years.
