Formerly known as Coronation Park, D.R. Seenivasagam Recreational Park got its name from a famous lawyer named D.R. Seenivasagam. The park was opened in 1950 and it is known as the oldest park in Ipoh. It is a large urban park in the heart of Ipoh that provides many facilities such as a large field for football training and matches.







The D.R Seenivasagam recreational park comprises of a big area of different sections of things to do. Entering the park you see two fields, one on your left and right. Most of the time these fields are used for football games and other trainings. If you head on straight you can see the children’s playground. Apart from the playground, there is also a cycling area where road signs and traffic lights are put up for a road experience. This cycling track is away from the actual road which is not only safer to ride on but also fun. If you don’t have a bicycle, you can rent one here too.







Picnic spots are available throughout the park that are strategically located with breathtaking views. Besides that, a number of playgrounds that are in good condition are placed all over the park. Parents can keep an eye on their children while they are playing, from the benches placed around the playground.

A beautiful Japanese Garden can be found at the centre of the park. A pavilion can be found right beside the Japanese Garden for those who would like to enjoy a peaceful environment.



You can also try bike riding along the tracks. If you do not have your own bike, you can rent bikes at a nominal rate.
