THE Penang Island City Council (MBPP) has removed fallen trees and cleaned up the jogging tracks and hiking trails at the City Park after the place was closed for five weeks.

Penang youth and sports committee chairman Soon Lip Chee said the paths and steps at the City Park had become slippery as they were covered in moss and became dangerous to the public.
