KLCC Park

Overview

KLCC Park is a 20-hectare landscaped urban oasis designed by the late Roberto Burle Marx, spread at the foot of the Petronas Twin Towers. Its centrepiece is a massive lake with choreographed fountain shows, surrounded by jogging tracks, playgrounds, and 1,900 indigenous trees.

Highlights

• Lake Symphony Fountain: Nightly water-and-light shows featuring 150 jets reaching up to 42 metres.
• Wading pool: A popular shallow pool for children, free to use, with slides and spray jets.
• Jogging track: A 1.3 km rubberised loop circling the park, popular with early-morning runners.

History

Opened in 1998 alongside the Petronas Towers, the park was designed by Brazilian landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx as one of his final projects. It replaced an old horse-racing track.
