A dedicated pet-friendly zone gives pets ample room to stretch their legs while navigating assorted obstacles.
PUTRAJAYA: IOI Properties Group Bhd has incorporated a pet-friendly 10-acre Central Park in IOI Resort City, Putrajaya to cater to families, fun-lovers, and furbabies alike. With diverse sporting and waterfront amenities and a pet-friendly zone with an obstacle course, the park is situated next to Palm Garden Hotel and just a stone’s throw from the 2.5 million-sq ft IOI City Mall.
“The Central Park is our latest offering rounding out the recreational and leisure landscape of IOI Resort City. We designed it as a placemaking initiative for the community to come together and get to know each other in a conducive social space while relaxing and unwinding amid serene greenery, scenic lake views and engaging sports amenities,” said IOI Resort City property management senior general manager Ho Kwok Wing.
The park includes an open lawn, playground park, jungle track, floral garden, and other recreational spaces. It also has sporting facilities that foster active and healthy lifestyles, such as a skate and bike park and basketball, badminton, and futsal courts.
The park is developed in line with the group’s sustainability goals of Caring for the Environment and Developing Sustainable Communities. As a Nature-based Solution, the park offers various ecosystem services such as climate change mitigation and adaptation, alleviation of urban heat island effect, flood prevention, biodiversity conservation and enhancement of human well-being.
In line with efforts to reduce carbon footprint and conserve existing plants, 71% of trees in the park are transplanted within IOI Resort City. Over one-third of trees planted are vulnerable IUCN Red List tree species, such as Dalbergia latifolia, Hopea odorata, and Khaya senegalensis.
The park also supports wildlife such as butterflies, dragonflies, reptiles, small mammals, fishes, songbirds, waterbirds and raptors. In addition, solar-powered LED lighting is used in the park for more sustainable operations. IOI Properties Group aspires to conserve the park for a long-term contribution towards UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG11, SDG13, SDG14 and SDG15.
For the opening of the lifestyle landmark, more than 1,000 visitors and public members turned up at the Central Park at IOI Resort City to enjoy numerous activities for families and fun-seekers, including a petting zoo, skateboard trial lesson, futsal tournament, Zumba session, carnival games, food trucks and more.
