Taman Tasik Bandar Kuantan

We have been having our morning walks here for three mornings in a row, during our recent soujourn in Kuantan. At first, we just wanted to try it and compare it with our Kelana Jaya lakes, but as it turned out to be quite popular with the locals, we eventually got hooked ourselves. Just like in Kelana Jaya, we started our walk early, at around 6:30 am. Eventhough it was still dark, we noticed a large crowd was already walking that sunday morning. The pathway was paved with interlocking blocks, but was slightly uneven at certain portions, mainly due to some overgrown tree's roots system beneath the pathways. Hence, we had to be quite careful not to stumble over the hidden cracks along the way. But the most surprising element was definitely the monkeys!! Located next to the forest reserve, this park is unfortunately swarming with wild monkeys, and their huge numbers totally shocked us. Eventhough none of them were posing any threats to the humans at the moment, but the sheer number of big and small families of monkeys tend to frighten younger children. I could observe that they were scavenging for discarded and leftover foods from the rubbish bins, while making a bigger mess in the process. If only the powers that be could maintain a better hygine and cleanliness level at the park, and employ more workers to keep the rubbish at bay, this would be a much safer place for family activities. I could see there were some paddle boats available for rental by the public, but the presence of the monkeys would definitely offer a stiff competition for the boats! The flora and fauna were the most positive aspects of this park. Beside that, there was a newly built basketball court and a netball court as well, which were patronized by the monkeys already from what I saw. There were sufficient carparking lots for the crowds to attend for local events and activities being organized here. We came across an empty foodcourt building which was only operating from 4:00 pm until midnight, and that was just a huge waste of space and opportunity, as the morning crowd didnt get to enjoy the facilities already available there. Again, another aspect for the powers that be to ponder...
