Pantai Kamloon Recreational Park

Pantai Kamloon Recreational Park (22 July 2015)


Pantai Kamloon Recreational Park (GPS: 5.56404, 100.44477) is a now disused recreational park within the wetland areas of Seberang Perai Utara. It is located at Kampung Tanjung Rambai in Kepala Batas, at the border between Penang Mainland and Kedah.

I explored Pantai Kamloon Recreational Park on 22 July, 2015. I looked at the elevated walkways that are now left to rot, railings that have fallen off and pavilions that are no longer reachable. I do not know why Pantai Kamloon was abandoned. I was told by a visitor that it used to be very popular with the locals.

The scenery at Pantai Kamloon Recreational Park is gorgeous. The area is dotted with ponds with sluice locks. There is a rusting boat (or something like it) parked by the bank of one of the ponds. A concrete wall runs parallel with the North-South Expressway. It cuts across the walkway. I do not know why this concrete wall was built and what is its purpose - is it to control flooding? Is it effective?

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
