Anduki Recreation Park

Originally, the park is a series of abandoned natural sand pit – formed due to its location near the coast. These flooded sand pits were transformed into a 53-hectare landscaped leisure area, whereby the former deep sandpits have been converted into a broad lake in the middle of the recreational area.

Back then, the lake serves as the focal point for a range of recreational activities including fishing, boating and windsurfing. Recently, it became popular for radio-controlled (RC) boats race. The rising popularity of the race has led to a newly constructed RC boat station – two-storeys in height, where racers can easily watch over their game. Due to this facility, the park has often became the site of RC Boats championship in Belait district. Local RC boat racer Abdul Musa said that interest in the activity in Belait has risen since the RC boat station was built.

“It helps a lot of the racers, rather than playing the game on the same ground level as the lake,” Abdul Musa said. “The new waterfront is also helpful for viewers, and the fixed facilities – prayer hall and washrooms – have made the park more visitor-friendly.” Various renovations has given the park its beautiful surroundings and facilities that are enjoyed by the public today. In addition to the newly constructed RC boat station, a 3.2-kilometre jogging track has been constructed – one of the tracks goes around the lake. These tracks are also suitable for cyclists and leisure walkers.
