Rain Garden

Rain Garden, Jalan Jeti Lama, Butterworth (11 December 2017)


Rain Garden (GPS: 5.41251, 100.37081) is an urban park in Bagan Luar, Butterworth. It occupies part of a car park between Jalan Pasar and Jalan Jeti Lama, in front of the Maha Mariamman Temple.

The Rain Garden got its name because it serves as a place to collect runoffs that would otherwise flood over impervious urban surfaces such as the nearby car park. It has a pond planted with wetland plants that are tolerant of the tropical climate. These plants serve as part of a bio-retention system that reduces the amount of pollutants which would otherwise leech into the drains. Rain Garden was built at a cost of RM343,918, of which RM100,000 was paid by the state government while the balance by ThinkCity. The park was completed in December 2017. It is now under the management of the Seberang Perai Municipal Council.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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