Location of Park Avenue Apartment
Park Avenue Apartment is 6 km from Komtar. Although it is close to the city, and therefore ideal for those working in George Town, Park Avenue Apartment has specific drawbacks which would-be buyers should do well to consider. It all has to do with the location. The apartment is next to the Penang Botanic Gardens, so fitness enthusiasts should find it within walking distance. However, this being Penang, the road leading to the botanic gardens is often congested every evening as the gardens are a very popular recreation spot. A few times a year, Jalan Kebun Bunga is closed to traffic due to special events such as the Thaipusam celebrations - the processions terminate at the Balathandayuthapani Temple nearby - and the floral festivals, with make the whole road jammed.
Public Transport at Park Avenue Apartment
Rapid Penang Bus 10 is the only bus now going to Jalan Kebun Bunga.
Traffic along Jalan Kebun Bunga gets congested during weekends and evening, when the people of Penang converge on the botanic gardens for their recreation.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
