Tutong District has many interesting places to visit. One such place is the Sungai Basong Recreational Park, which is situated near the Tutong-Muara Highway.

The park was first opened in 1989 and since then, it has undergone many changes. Celebrations for His Majesty's birthday are often held here.

The park is also a suitable place for camping and holding various outdoor activities.

The park has two lakes and is surrounded by rich flora and fauna; making it an ideal place for people to relax.

Since 2001, five ethnic houses have been built at the park, which showcase the traditional houses of the Dusun, Tutong, Iban, Kedayan and Chinese people. These unique houses attract not only tourists but locals, too.

The Sungai Basong Recreational Park is truly a unique landmark of Tutong District.
