I paid a visit to the new Perdana Park At Hone Place this morning. Hone Place is the area surrounding the old (original) airport site which has a rugby field and previously had the government quarters. It is very near the beach at Tanjung Aru.
Perdana Park is the latest public park (with jogging track and makan stalls). It was launched by the Prime Minister on 28 January 2011. But "Don't Pray, Pray", this park had RULES!!
The Main Lobby and the "stalls". Not in operation yet, perhaps the management is still deciding. Check out the speed hump on the bottom right ...
... NOT the usual cement ones.
Around the boundary was an asphalt road (this showed the front side) ...
... the side ...
... and the back, with the morning glory growing on the fence ...
... and the BIG Bumble bees buzzing around.
Moving inside the park, there was a rubberised undulating jogging track.
It looked very nice. I will try it out another day.
There were rest huts at the far ends of the park.
Hopefully, the CCTV will reduce the possibility of vandalism and provide good safety for the public using the park.
Further in towards the middle, there was a pebbled walk surrounding the pond in the middle ...
... the outside edge with bigger pebbles providing a nice foot massage if you walked barefoot.
The pond in the middle held the musical fountains (only runs at night).
The Water Station offering free drinking water ...
... actually filtered water from the central pond.
I noticed a container-type trailer thingy. One of the stickers on it seemed to indicate it was a mobile stage ...
... what was interesting was; it had a Quebec License Plate! "Je me souviens" is the motto of Quebec City and it means
"I remember".
All in all, a very nice addition to the public facilities in Kota Kinabalu. It also preserved a part of the Historical Hone Place from commercial development.
