Penang Municipal Park

Reviewed By L4134GYannag

Park is so big, there are big playground and small water park. Park is near hill so people come for walking and climbing as well. Small cafe in the middle. Take care monkeys, they are looking for a chance to take your food. It's 10 min walking to the botanical garden, so you can do 2 activities same day.
