Strengthening Our Commitment to Urban Biodiversity through the Enchanting KL East Park
On 18 February, we officially opened the gates to the
much-awaited and enchanting 53-acre KL East Park, a naturally
regenerating secondary rainforest home to rare, endemic species
and beautiful geological formations.
The park offers rewarding nature and geology, given its physical
connection to the lush Bukit Tabur and the Klang Gates Quartz
Ridge, the world’s longest quartz formation. Minerals and rocks
found at the park carry a unique, rarely observed mix of schist,
quartz vein and granite, making the biodiverse environment
entirely exclusive for the KL East township residents.
The nature-rich haven is home to more than 300 species of trees,
herbs, shrubs and palms, all planted by the Group and geotagged
to ensure ease of conservation and reference. It is also a
sanctuary for some of Malaysia’s most fascinating birds,
amphibians, reptiles, butterflies and beetles.
In the first phase of the launch, visitors will have access to
17 acres of the park to hike along a 2km trail to the peak at
the lookout point overlooking a breathtaking view of Merdeka
118, KLCC Twin Towers and KL Tower. There is also a small creek
and a spot to observe birds up close.
