The Armenian Park is a quiet green space in the center of Armenian Street Penang Heritage-Enclave.

Armenian Park is a public park at the intersection of Acheen Street and Armenian Street. This open green space provides an oasis in the heart of the island's heritage zone. With green lawns, pedestrian walkways, benches and landscape gardens, it is a great place for activities or just to take a break while exploring the city.







As part of the local initiative for green network planning in urban areas, a disused vacant lot is transformed from an active flea market.

Part of the project included the upgrading of an adjacent back lane into a herb garden for the public to visit.





Armenian Park provides a safe, clean, and healthy environment for the community to interact.

The overall works include restructuring utilities, landscaping, pedestrian walkways, and lighting fixtures.

Not only did the upgrade project fulfil George Town’s need for public open spaces, it also benefited tourism and business. The park is complementary to its surroundings, bringing out the beauty of the historical buildings. In addition, residents, businesses and visitors have augured well with the introduction of new cultural attractions in the neighbouring Youth Centre and Syed al-Attas Mansion — a mid-19th century structure owned by the Penang Island City Council.

While most of the time the park functions as a neighbourhood garden, on special occasions it is used for community projects including ‘Art in the Park’ and ‘Music in the Park’ during the George Town Festival and various periodic art installations. Popular with both local residents and visitors, the park is currently jointly maintained by George Town council.



Opening up the back lane provides safe alternative access for the public and residents to use.





As we all know, Armenian Street is that bustling street-art spot that’s always abuzz with locals and tourists. But not many tourists would have heard of Armenian Park. Essentially, Armenian Park is a location that hosts plenty of outdoor activities in Penang such as the Lantern Festival, Lunar New Year bash and more.

The 1,600 sqm park is a green lung is a space for the community to enjoy.





All in all, the park is a small but well landscaped park. If you happen to be around the Armenian street heritage area, drop by the park and tune yourself into a relaxing mood here.
