Six Madani Recreational Parks Planned for Penang, Divided Between Island and Mainland

Penang is set to see the completion of six Madani recreational parks by the end of this year, with an equal distribution of three projects allocated to Penang Island and three to Seberang Perai. These developments aim to enhance the quality of life by expanding access to quality recreational facilities for residents in both urban and suburban settings.
Penang Island City Council Projects

Three projects are being implemented under the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) on Penang Island. These include the upgrading of the Jalan Cheeseman neighbourhood park in Jelutong, the Jalan Kampung Bukit neighbourhood park in Bayan Lepas, and the Lengkok Merbah 3 neighbourhood park, also located in Bayan Lepas. The implementation period for the Jalan Cheeseman project is scheduled from April 16 to October 15, while the two projects in Bayan Lepas are slated for completion between June 5 and November 4.
Seberang Perai City Council Projects

In Seberang Perai, three projects are currently in the final stages of the quotation process under the Seberang Perai City Council (MBSP). These projects involve landscape upgrading works at open spaces in Lorong Pauh 2, Taman Pauh and Jalan Kelisa Emas 4, Taman Kelisa in Seberang Perai Tengah, and at Lorong Belatuk 3/Pekeliling Belatuk, Taman Belatuk in Nibong Tebal, Seberang Perai Selatan. The quotation advertisement period ran from May 19 to June 8, and the projects are expected to commence site works in the third week of July, with completion targeted for December.
Funding and Inclusive Design

A total allocation of RM2.5 million from the Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) is funding these Madani recreational parks. The cost for individual projects varies based on scope and needs, with MBPP projects ranging from RM320,320 to RM412,580, and MBSP projects each estimated at RM500,000. The development adheres to an inclusive concept, incorporating features such as disability-friendly benches, senior-friendly park benches, outdoor gyms, and safety enhancements like CCTV.
Community Engagement and Objectives

The selection of these park locations involved engagement sessions with elected representatives, councillors, and Village Community Management Councils (MPKK) to ensure the facilities meet the specific needs of the local residents. Beyond providing comfortable and safe leisure spaces, the initiative aims to foster stronger social interaction, enhance community well-being, and improve the overall quality of life, particularly in densely populated areas. This initiative is part of KPKT's broader effort to bring recreational facilities closer to the public.
