Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Kampung Sijangkang serves as an educational park to promote the importance of the mangroves following the deadly tsunami in 2004. In 1892, the Indonesian immigrants from Kg Pendamaran, Klang explored the area for the first time, before finally settling down in Kampung Sijangkang. The name Sijangkang is a combination of the name of the river and pokok jangkang (stilt trees). To date, the recreational park is funded by the villagers by way of crowdfunding.





Since one of the objectives of Taman Rekreasi Paya Bakau Kampung Sijangkang is to promote the public awareness to nature and mangrove swamp, there were many information board tagged on the trunk of the trees or near the trees. It was really a good effort as we get to know the name of the trees.







The park has its own charm and very green! Never underestimate the length of the boardwalk. It could take up to 30 minutes one way depending on your pace. Don’t forget to bring a bottle of water and remember do not throw any rubbish in the mangrove area.

At the end of the 700 metres board walk, there was a Ban Lama which is being developed as a rest area. In terms of facilities, there are surau, toilet, souvenir shops, camping area as well as team building facilities.
