Taman Sri Nibong Park (GPS: 5.33237, 100.30079) is a public park in Taman Sri Nibong, in Sungai Nibong, Penang. It is believed to be the second largest public recreational park on Penang Island, after Polo Ground.
The Taman Sri Nibong Park was created when the housing estate was developed in the mid 1980s. In the beginning, it was padi fields and swampy land. Over time, the developer planted trees, carefully different types that suit the tropical climate, to be added to the park.
The Taman Sri Nibong Residents' Association, which has its building on one corner of the park, has been working vigorously to ensure that the park is well maintained. It has also been instrumental in improving the park from time to time. This includes the building of walking tracks around the area. There are now three sets of paved walking tracks around the park, making it a good place to go for a walk or stroll in the evening. The park is also lighted up at night, so it is possible to use it even after nightfall.
Today the Taman Sri Nibong Park is one of two parks in the housing estate. A second park, the Taman Sri Nibong Linear Park, was established in 2010.

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I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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