Running @ Rainforest Park along Jalan Penampang

Rainforest Park, it called also Taman Ujana Rimba Tropika has big children play ground and open space around the warrior memorial monument.

You may expect a lot of people young and old during weekend as Rainforest Park ( Taman Ujana Rimba ) is one of the popular spot among local. Running on weekend may not the best time as the track is small made of tarmac ground, but I love this park.
It’s a beautiful park with many trees ( indigenous jungle trees ) and many beautiful hibiscus. After the run you can just sit and relax on the open space in the middle of the jogging track. There is so much space. I love it here..

The track itself not very exciting, light jogging is fine.
