BUTTERWORTH:
Harnessing its natural assets, the Seberang Perai City Council has created a tranquil green space by the sea called Robina Eco Park which it hopes will stimulate domestic tourism.

The council has spent RM1,464,000 on improving the park with lush grass and 548 new plants, as well as clean energy park lights. The park, also known as Taman Rekreasi Pantai Robina, fronts the Penang Straits.

Chief Minister, Chow Kon Yeow, opening the park today, said the council had banned all vehicles from entering the park, which covers 2.69ha (6.66 acres).

“I hope everyone will follow the rules and take responsibility in helping to preserve the environment here in step with the state government and MBSP’s desire to turn it into a recreation and domestic tourism centre.

“With it strategically located about 15km from Butterworth and near the Royal Malaysian Air Force base, it will attract those who want to do some fishing, spend leisure time with the family and see a beautiful sunset,” he said.
