CHOGM Park Langkawi

After all, this 10-acre park is conveniently located at the heart of the district. The park was built as an honor to one of the most memorable government meeting that Malaysia hosted back in 1989 – the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), where the name of the park is likewise derived. This is why one of the key feature of the park is the whitewash edifice where all the flags of the countries present during the meeting are placed.

Despite the tropical temperature in Langkawi, a visit to the park will be a breeze, since it is surrounded by bullet wood trees that are known to have been planted by the country delegations themselves during the historical meeting. Up to this day, these trees prove to be a refreshing sight in a rather manmade park. To complete the leisurely tour of the park, visitors may also opt to have a quiet time by the man-made beach strip, which is located within the park premises, as well.

If you want more choices, then you have also head out to the nearest mall, the Langkawi Fair Mall. Kuah’s Al-Hana Mosque is just a walking distance from the park, as well. For large groups who want to have an educational tour of the park, along with other Langkawi key tourism and historical sites, you may coordinate with the local tourism office or a trusted tour guide online.
The park is recommended for all sorts of tourists and visitors from children to senior citizens. It is open for free, throughout the day, but it is best to drop by here in the late afternoon while waiting for the popular Langkawi Night Market to open.
