Taman Awam Miri (Miri Public Park) is a public park located about 3 km from the town centre, along the road to the airport (Airport Road). Facilities and attractions available here include flora gardens, foodcourt, fountains, observatory platform, hanging bridge, souvenir centre, stone carving, sculptures, pavilions, jogging track and other sporting facilities. In line with Miri's status as an oil town, the observatory platform and hanging bridge were nicely designed based on the design of an oil rig.

| | | | Fantastic Scuba Diving | Tip Rating:  | | | | |
I first started scuba diving in Miri, and I enjoyed it tremendously. I've been told that the reefs in Miri are probably amongst the best in Malaysia because the diving activity is not as heavily popularised as compared to Tioman or Redang and therefore the reefs are pretty undisturbed. Michael Aw (popular underwater photographer) published : “Underwater Miri is like a surrealistic seascape of boulders with tiny forest of red, black, white, green and brown whip corals among giant sea fans with an undergrowth of massive plate corals and sponges. It is much like those of the luxuriant reefs of PNG and the Maldives” (source from Sarawak tourism board)
There is only a handful of diveshops in Miri and they will have a few locations to bring you, depending on how many dives you want to go on. Some of the more popular reefs are Mike's Reef, Eve's Garden, Scubasa Reef, Scubasa Drop Off, Seafan Garden and there is shipwreck, the Atago Maru, a 110-metre Japanese merchant ship converted into a troop transport vessel, was sunk during World War II.
Dive trips leave by boat from Miri town and there is no shore dives. Expect to see exotic marine life such as blue spotted rays, white tip sharks, humphead wrasse, unicorn fish, turtles and batfish. Of course, a good dive depends a lot on the visibility. The best season to dive in Miri is March to September, when you can expect visibility of up to 30 metres. During the rest of the year, the monsoon can cause visibility to plummet to 10 metres or less. Address: Offshore Miri
