ATTRACTIONS & ACTIVITIES
Parks and Playgrounds
There are a number of parks and recreational areas
scattered throughout the nation. Whether you are
looking for an area to keep fit while enjoying a scenic
view or a place to relax with friends and family, there
are plenty of options for everyone.
Jubilee Park
Built to commemorate His Majesty’s silver jubilee,
the aptly named Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Silver
Jubilee Park is perched on the banks of the Brunei
River, treating joggers to impressive views especially
during sunsets. At night, stunning displays of light
bring the park to life, making it a suitable place for
families to hang out and relax.
The park’s main feature is a fountain located in its
centre that is surrounded by 25 pillars, signifying the
25 years of His Majesty’s reign.
Damuan Recreational Park
Great for joggers and brisk walkers alike, Damuan
Recreational Park is another option for those
looking to run off steam while enjoying a scenic
riverside view. The narrow, riverside park is lined
with pathways and the trees provide shade for
joggers. The one-kilometre-long stretch of land
is home to two separate playgrounds catering to
young visitors as well as a skateboard park for
youth. Additionally, the park houses a steamboat
(hot pot) restaurant, a great place for a post-jog
meal or dinner with friends.
Scattered throughout the park are six ASEAN-
themed sculptures. Each sculpture represents its
respective original ASEANmember country: Brunei
Darussalam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore,
Thailand and the Philippines.
Anduki Recreational Park
Like the Jubilee Park, the Anduki Recreational
Park was transformed from a series of abandoned
natural sandpits into the current 63-hectare
landscaped recreational area. The park’s
centrepiece is the man-made large lake in the
middle of the park which joins Anduki River,
leading to the sea.
Once attracting visitors for fishing, boating and
windsurfing, the lake now hosts radio-controlled
(RC) boat races, complete with a recently
constructed RC boat station. The park is also
equipped with a 3.2-kilometre jogging track
(also suitable for cyclists and leisure walkers),
six shelters with designated barbecue pits, a
playground and a camp site.
