Taman Bermain Banto Royo is a recreational park located in the Agam Regency of West Sumatra, centered around a scenic swamp-forest ecosystem. The park features wooden walkways that extend over water and lush, shaded vegetation, providing a natural setting for family activities. It includes various recreational facilities such as pedal boats, duck-shaped water crafts, and elevated viewing decks. The layout integrates the existing wetland environment with man-made structures designed for leisure and sightseeing. Visitors access the park via a network of pathways that weave through the trees and across the water surfaces. The site is a popular local destination for weekend outings and photography due to its elevated boardwalks.
