City Park, Penang, Urban park in George Town, Malaysia
City Park is a recreational area built on the site of a former granite quarry in George Town. The grounds feature children's play areas, swimming facilities, skating areas, reflexology paths for walking, and an outdoor performance venue.
The site was developed in 1972 to provide recreational opportunities and address community needs for outdoor activities. The transformation of a quarry into a public park marked a shift toward improved urban planning in the city.
The park serves as a gathering place where different communities meet and spend time together in shared spaces. You can observe families walking the paths, groups exercising, and visitors enjoying the green areas throughout the day.
The park is open during daylight hours and easily reached by the main access road, with rest areas spread throughout the grounds. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes and protect themselves from sun exposure, especially during midday and early afternoon.
A section of the park features seven dedicated wall surfaces that function as an open-air gallery for street art. These walls are regularly refreshed with new colorful works by local and visiting artists, showcasing the creative spirit of the community.
