Sama Jaya was formerly known as Stutong Protected Forest, one of the oldest protected areas in Sarawak. It covers an area of approximately 38 hectares and takes about 10 to 15 minutes drive from Kuching City Centre. It is also the first multi-purpose urban forest park in Sarawak.
The park is designed to provide an authentic urban wilderness, with all its facilities and activities integrated into the natural forest environment. Being the first urban forestry project undertaken by Sarawak Forestry, Sama Jaya's primary objective is to promote multiple uses of forest through encouraging outdoor recreation, nature conservation education and nature-based tourism; creating a reserve and refuge for urban wildlife; and conserving a "Green Island" for Kuching City.
Though many Kuching folks have been to this beautiful and stunning park (which I prefer to name it)..... I still believe that there are many others who have not step into it yet. Hello.... you all out there..... don't miss this golden opportunity!! As it is situated entirely within the heart of Kuching City...... grab your chance.... Who knows it will be your favourite future place then......
The park has two jogging tracks, which caters for both beginners (870 metres) and serious joggers (1600 metres). Both tracks wind their way through attractive scenery, promoting a sense of oneness with nature while you exercise.
