Batu Satu, also known as Kampong Parit, is an area in Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei. It is also a designated village in Brunei-Muara District, within Mukim Kianggeh. The population was 1,509 in 2016. [2] It encompasses a commercial area of the capital.
The people who lived in Kampong Sumbiling Baru moved to Kampong Mata-Mata, which was farther inland, in 1970. In the same year, the roads leading to Jalan Tutong were expanded through land reclamation and destruction. The former location of Kampong Sumbiling Baru was cleared and expanded towards Kampung Ujong Bukit as part of this development. The Supreme Court building, which is now situated close to the banks of the Kedayan River, was also built as part of these efforts; however, it is believed that Kampong Parit did not initially own it.

Utama Bowling, located in the commercial area, was the first bowling alley in Brunei. [5] It once hosted bowling games during the 1999 Southeast Asian Games. [6]
