KUALA LUMPUR: IOI Properties Group Bhd
(IOIProp) has officially opened its 4.05ha Central Park in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya.
It is adjacent to the Palm Garden Hotel and in close proximity to the 2.5 million-sq-ft IOI City Mall.
IOI Resort City’s senior general manager (property management) Ho Kwok Wing described the park as a lifestyle landmark catering to families, fun-lovers, and pet owners, as it offers diverse sporting and waterfront amenities, including a pet-friendly zone with an obstacle course.
“The Central Park is our latest offering, rounding out the recreational and leisure landscape of IOI Resort City.
“We designed it to foster community interaction in a social space amid serene greenery, scenic lake views, and engaging sports amenities,” he said in a statement yesterday.
The park features an open lawn, playground, jungle track, floral garden and various recreational spaces.
Its sporting facilities encourage active lifestyles, including a skate and bike park, as well as courts for basketball, badminton and futsal.
Ho highlighted the park’s development aligning with IOIProp’s sustainability goals, providing ecosystem services like climate change mitigation, urban heat island reduction, flood prevention and biodiversity conservation.
“In line with efforts to reduce carbon footprint and conserve existing plants, 71% of the trees in the park have been transplanted within IOI Resort City,” he said, adding that over one-third of the trees are vulnerable International Union for Conservation of Nature red list tree species, such as dalbergia latifolia, hopea odorata, and khaya senegalensis.
He also noted that the park supports wildlife such as butterflies, dragonflies, reptiles, small mammals, fish, songbirds, waterbirds and raptors. — Bernama
