Located away from the main roads and popular tourist areas in Penang, Linear Park (or Taman Jajar) is a rather hidden public park that has a beautiful landscape reminiscence of the Taiping Lake Garden, with its rain trees.
Linear Park runs along the Ayer Itam River, and is linked to the Suffolk House via a red brick bridge. The park is located at York Road, Penang.

The Penang Botanic Gardens is also the home to some of the oldest trees on the island.
One of the things to do in Penang is to take a quiet stroll along the path that goes around the Botanic Gardens. The surrounding lush green forest and the occasional sight of small creatures from the woods make this a worthwhile walk.
Despite being a small island, Penang is also a home to many old forests and natural landscape.

The nature side of Penang.
The hill top trail circling the Ayer Itam Dam is a popular trail for the locals here who like to take a stroll, jog, cycle and hike. Along the trail, one can easily enjoy the lush green rainforest and the cooling shades of the trees. There are also several smaller paths for hiking and biking along the trail, that lead to various locations of the hill and its neighboring areas.
