City Mangrove Park — Attraction in Perak

Pros: Free Trail is fairly long. Good for decent workout. Excellent spot for education about mangrove ecosystem. Lots of monkeys. Plenty of shade above - not warm even during late morning/noon. Trail ends at a river. Rather scenic.

Cons: Monkeys are aggressive and hungry. We witnessed snatching of car keys and ice-cream from hands of visitors during that one visit! I am quite sure they are breeding out of control, probably not properly fed too. Near the hanging bridge area, we witnessed at least 20 mother carrying their younglings. Lots of mosquitos. No stalls selling food or drinks. Lack of maintenance. Many parts of the track are broken. Rusted steels with sharp edges are left exposed. Hanging bridge is closed. No notice when will it be open to public again. Bridge is now occupied by lots of monkeys, almost like planet of the ape kind...

Good place to walk in the morning and evening. There is a well-built bridge across the mangrove park from start points to end points.

Different types of mangroves are planted here with the signboard to show the trees name. You may also see estuary from the park. （The canopy walk was broken during my visit, the friendly security guard explained that a visitor accidently broke the canopy bridge.)

The whole park is shady and comfortable. You may also see the animals such as squirrel, giant salamander, butterflies, dragonflies, mini crabs & etc in the park. Most important is beware of the monkeys near exit and car parks.

A well maintained mangrove forest with UNSPOIL monkey's habitat! You can see upclose how they crawl, jump from tree to tree to find natural available food in mangrove as they didn't spoil by food from visitors. Kudos to the park management for keeping the park clean and safe for visitor. Entrance free is RM3 for adults; free admission for kids under 12, elderly above 60 and PWD/OKU. The walkway is fully shaded by mangrove trees and safe for kids. Come during low tide to see more mangrove creatures such as crab,...
