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 t 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 Sultan Haji
Hassanal Bolkiah Mu’izzaddin Waddaulah ibni
Al-Marhum Sultan Haji Omar ‘Ali Saifuddien
Sa’adul Khairi Waddien, Sultan and Yang Di-
Pertuan of Brunei Darussalam’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 ASEAN member 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 shing, boating and
windsur ng, 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.
