Down Memory Lane ... Ipoh's Kinta Riverfront

I thought it's a good idea to visit the Kinta Riverfront, which was located in between my ex-school and my ex-home. Afterall, it was one of the tourist attractions in Ipoh now which features a cycling track or walking path along the beautified Kinta river as well as eateries along the river bank.

 I was actually nostalgic when I stepped onto the walking path along the river bank as this was the place where I used to jog daily during my teen years. I felt so surreal as this place changed into something different, though beautiful. It used to be grasses along the riverfront and later, a narrow concrete paths for joggers back in the 80s and 90s.

However, I am quite dissapointed that the once famous D.R. park nearby was in such a run down and dilapidated sorry state. It used to be the pride of Ipoh but somehow it seems that the park was not well maintained over the years.

DR Park... the grasses were long and trees were not trimmed

The pond used to be deep and contains lots of fishes... I doubt there were any more fishes now

I was actually quite excited to be able to come back to this place again, as it was so near to my old home where I can see it almost every day and not forgetting I was doing my jogging daily as well as school's cross-country here.
