Manjung Mangrove Park
Ipoh City Urban Pocket Park
The design of Manjung Mangrove Park aims to create a sense of place through nature and to enhance the unique characteristics of the mangrove ecosystem. The objective is to develop facilities to make the mangrove swamp accessible, while retaining and preserving the existing natural mangrove habitats.
The partial development of Jalan Dato’ Tahwil Azar and Jalan Mustapha Al-Bakri as a ‘semi-pedestrian mall’, named ‘Gerbang Malam’, is an Ipoh City Council initiative that aims to attract urban dwellers and tourists to Ipoh City Centre. The project is to develop a pocket plaza measuring 72m x 60m, within the ‘Gerbang Malam’ stretch. It establishes four design objectives: 1) To create a pedestrian network that celebrates the richness of local culture 2) To create a pedestrian mall as a tourist attraction in Ipoh City 3) To provide space for business opportunities such as a flea market 4) To provide space for social activities, public facilities and an urban focal point.
A canopy walkway and viewing towers bring visitors close to nature by providing a close-up experience of the Mangrove Park. Sensitively constructed so as not to have any negative impact upon the existing natural mangrove swamp, the park intends to provide an educational and recreational opportunity for local and foreign visitors.
