This Park covers an area of 70 hectares, located about
15km from Bandar Seri Begawan via the Muara-Tutong Higway
and about 30 km from Tutong town.
It has a number of beautiful spots worth visiting. Complementing
the natural kerangas forest are rows of Caribbean pine and
Acacia mangium trees planted decades ago.
Aside from facilities including shelters, fish ponds, forest
trails, a multi-purpose open arena(which can be used for
top spinning, remote control car racing, outdoor games etc.),
and picnic grounds, an observation tower at the summit of
the hill provides a panoramic view of the South China Sea
and the coastline to the north, Bandar Seri Begawan and
to the southeast, the Istana Nurul Izzah and Jerudong Park
to the west and wide tracks of green land(kerangas forests,
belukar forests, farmland) elsewhere.
This tower has such a clear and expansive view that it is
used for the official sighting of the new moon to confirm
the months of Ramadhan and Syawal.
