- Mangrove boardwalk and estuary views: A short, walkable boardwalk lets you get up close to the brackish-water edge where mangrove roots tangle into the river—great for quiet wildlife watching and easy photos without having to slog through mud.
- Riverside hiking trail: A gentle loop trail hugs the water and threads through secondary forest. It’s short enough for a lazy morning but rewards you with shady stretches, insect chorus, and a few wooden platforms that make for good rest stops.
- Birdwatching pockets: The park punches above its size for birds—look for kingfishers, egrets, sunbirds and other shoreline species. Bring binoculars and go early; dawn is when the place livens up.
- Small forest patch with native plants: You’ll find a compact stand of native trees and undergrowth that’s useful

- Small forest patch with native plants: You’ll find a compact stand of native trees and undergrowth that’s useful for learning local flora. It’s not a remote jungle, but it’s a nice, accessible example of Borneo-side plant life without a long trek.
- Estuary sunset and photography spots: If you time it right, the estuary light at dusk is lovely—low sun, silhouettes of mangrove roots, and calm water make for easy, rewarding photos even with a phone camera.
- Picnic and community recreation area: Benches, a sheltered picnic area and informal open spaces make this a relaxed spot to eat, rest or meet locals. Practical for budget travelers who want a low-cost outdoor day without camping gear.
