Bukit Dumbar, Jelutong, Penang

Bukit Dumbar is a man-made hill built over an underground reservoir. It is located in Jelutong, or rather, at the border of Jelutong and Gelugor. Since the 1960's, Bukit Dumbar also doubles as a recreational park. It is one of the few patches of green space in Jelutong, and is popular with the locals as a place for jogging and exercise, particularly tai-chi, which are available in the early mornings as well as evenings.
