Taman Bulatan Park
Primary tabs
Taman Bulatan Park is a public park located off the corner of the Pujut roundabout at Boulevard Commercial Center, next to Desa Seri residential area.
With a wide running track around lakes and a smaller cycling track that mimics road lines, the park is very popular with joggers and bicyclists, and features large man-made lakes adorned with a big clock tower.
The clock tower pictured is taken in 2006. Then, the clocks had stopped working for a while and they had resorted to covering up the clock faces. Prior to the break down, the clock (sponsored by Orient) did hourly chimes. These clocks were later replaced with LED analogue clock faces.
In late 2011, a crocodile had been spotted at the park in the lake by members of the public and the Civil Defence Department was called in to capture it.

Also known as "America Road", "Reversed Road", "Opposite Driving Road" by the locals, the road where we drive on the left instead of the right, and is rightly a fairly controversial subject of contention regarding its road planning.
On August 1st, 1960, the Miri General Hospital, which had for long been operated by the oil company with financial assistance from the government, was handed over to the government; with it went the Miri Ferry that connects between the peninsular and town - and the hospital -, all the concession land on the Miri Peninsula south of the Miri Golf Course, and all the houses, roads and utility services within that area.
