This is by far the best park in Kedah state. Located near Bandar Darulaman. The lake is big with paddled-boats for rent at RM 6 during week days and RM 8 during week ends. There is a tracking path around the lake for joggers or casual walkers.
The view is breathtaking with rubber trees fringing the lake. For those who are not so fit. There is buggy cars for rent at RM 14 per car.
Other facilities are a paintball game zone, a skating ring, restaurants, fish feeding zones etc.
A must visit in this northern area.

Bukit Wang Recreational Forest (Nature Reserve) is located in Jitra, Kedah, about 40 kilometers (km) from the town of Alor Star has always been a preferred destination for a weekend break.
Remarkably, this park has a relatively long bathing area, which is about one kilometer (km) and suitable for all ages.
Despite not having high waterfall, it remains an option because of the environmental conditions that are still preserved.
For outdoor enthusiasts, they can do jungle trekking and hill climbing or jogging at the entrance of the picnic area while looking at the various types of forest plant species such as sago and pitcher plant.
After a tiring fun bathing, visitors can enjoy a variety of food sold in the cafe near the entrance .

We had to be in Alor Setar for a few days for business and we enjoyed our time in Aman Central mall. Husband went to the movie while I was shopping. I fixed my mobile phone screen, found an european style swimming suit, H&M and UniQlu. There are so many sushi and Japanese restaurants to choose from and a well-supplied supermarket at the underground level. There is a laser-tag place, a bowling alley and a huge playground for kids. The food court has a beautiful view of the Alor Setar tower.

Wow, there are so many types of Paddy from various countries.. also displaying the farm tools and machinery they used, Rice planting and harvest method.. Most interesting at 2nd floor which located the 360 auto rotate floor for us to view beautiful paddy field and the famous Gunung keriang. Dont unleash the chance to capture the amazing view by the photographer. Really recommended for everyone especially school visit so that we will appreciate RICE.
