Taman Perbandaran Pulau Pinang

The Penang Municipal Park or Taman Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, is a huge park at the edge of George Town. This recreational park for the people of Penang is accessed by a single one-way route, entering through Persiaran Kuari. The Municipal Park was born from quarry land and was created in the early 70's, to provide a recreational area for youths. In its earliest incarnation, the Youth Park, as it was called at that time, had a skating rink (which it still has) and an outdoor auditorium. There was also a place for archery and hiking.

Over the years, as more funds were allocated to increase recreational opportunities for the public, more facilities were added to the park. Now, it also has a water park complete with fountains of various sizes and a cascade of pools.

The Municipal Park is managed by the Penang Island Municipal Council, or Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, the council that looks after the whole island. In addition to the Municipal Park, the council also manages the Metropolitan Park in Relau.
