THE Sungai Ara Linear Park in Bayan Lepas, Penang, has proven to be a successful pilot project due to the involvement of the local community.

Located in Desaria, the park has become the latest attraction after the Sungai Ara river was adopted by the Drainage and Irrigation Department (JPS) under a task force which consists of the Penang Island City Council, Seberang Prai Municipal Council, Department of Environment, Land and District office, state Health Department, Indah Water Konsortium and the Penang Green Council.
