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.
