Pantai Sental Park received a massive boost with IJM Land and Amona kicking off a planned Urban Park at Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, marking the first milestone in the neighborhood.
The objective the parties added was to build a connected, sustainable, and community-focused township. The groundbreaking event is a defining moment in Pantai Sentral Park’s new vision as Kuala Lumpur’s first urban forest development.
Strategically located between Pantai Sentral Park and a 252-acre forest (comprising 163 acres of Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi, Kuala Lumpur and 89 acres of Bukit Gasing, Petaling Jaya), the Urban Park is designed as a vibrant community meeting point that connects city living with nature. It will serve Pantai Sentral Park residents and nearby neighbourhoods including Pantai Dalam, Bangsar South, Bangsar, Mid Valley, and Damansara — offering a much-needed green escape in the heart of the city.
Open to the public, this 0.86-acre park will feature walking trails, communal gathering spaces, shaded areas, and will serve as the direct third access to the existing hiking routes within Taman Rimba Bukit Kerinchi. A key highlight is the ‘Ribbon of Life’ pathway, a newly introduced feature in the revised masterplan that allows for easy walkable access across Pantai Sentral Park and provides a direct link to an upcoming MRT3 station.
The park has been thoughtfully designed with biodiversity-friendly landscaping featuring trees and pollinator gardens, incorporating over 30 plant species. These efforts not only elevate the park’s visual appeal but also support local ecosystems and encourage urban biodiversity.
As part of Pantai Sentral Park’s broader community vision, the Urban Park is also positioned to be a flexible space that can host wellness classes, family-friendly activities, and even educational programs in partnership with local schools — transforming it into a dynamic space for recreation, learning, and community bonding.
