The running track at Likas Sports Complex is just one of the popular facilities frequently used by the active people of Kota Kinabalu.

Roughly 1km in length, the track encircles a man-made lake, the shores of which are peppered with lush, green trees and shrubbery, making it a green oasis sufficiently removed from KK’s traffic and noise.

Especially popular at dusk, after the heat of the day, Kota Kinabalu’s work force is often busy walking or running off a day at the office. The track is popular with serious joggers, the health concious and families keeping fit and healthy.

Along the running track there are several outdoor exercise stations, allowing for a good stretch, triceps dips, monkey bars and horisontal bars for pull-ups. Climbing frames and swings provide distraction for kids of all ages and a colourful playground for them to spend some energy in a fun-filled way.

The Likas Sports Complex is located about 5 minutes out of town towards the Floating Mosque and is near the Sabah Trade Centre, and is about the same distance from Damai. The surrounding area is serviced by buses, although the Likas Sport Complex itself is most easily accessed by car or taxi.

Thanks to lighting around the track and a safe environment, a brisk walk or a jog is possible until long after dark.
