Linear Park, or Taman Jajar, is an urban park beside the Ayer Itam River, at Halaman York, just below the Sri York Condominiums. The park, which is maintained by the Penang Island Municipal Council (Majlis Perbandaran Pulau Pinang, MPPP) has sports facilities including tennis court, sepaktakraw court, and children's playground. Dance classes and karate lessons are also conducted at the foyer.

Those who are interested to rent the facilities at Taman Jajar may contact the MPPP at 229 1301.

Across the Ayer Itam River from Linear Park is the recently restored Suffolk House. At time of writing (December 2008), the house is still closed to the public.

Getting there

The best way to get to the Taman Jajar is by car or taxi.
