Recreational Haven

As Iskandar Malaysia continues to evolve, there has been an increase in the range of integrated parks, open space systems, recreation and lifestyle pursuits available for residents and visitors alike.

We embrace and proactively use parks and other such venues for recreation as essential means for enhancing individual well-being and community vitality, economic sustainability and natural resource protection and conservation.

This is why we are investing a great deal in providing Iskandar Malaysia’s residents with well designed, safe, functional and inviting parks, trails, playgrounds, amusement/theme parks, watersport lagoons and other open spaces that are in keeping with the ever growing population of this region and the shifts of recreational trends.

Iskandar Malaysia’s numerous parks, open spaces, trails and natural areas will enable residents to connect with nature and de-stress as they engage in physical activities and social interactivities that are important to health. As we begin our quest to realise this new metropolis and resource extraction begins carving up the land, Iskandar Malaysia recognises the need to preserve and interconnect green spaces for use by both humans and wildlife.

Iskandar Malaysia’s public spaces represent a great opportunity to expand our offering of communal sporting pursuits. With large land areas allocated for sports and recreation, Iskandar Malaysia is a draw for those looking to make the most of their outdoor lifestyle. The possibilities are boundless.

Iskandar Malaysia will be home to numerous sporting infrastructures such as:

Johor’s first purpose-built all-abilities playground, providing a recreational environment without barriers for children and their families and located just outside the city centres.
Plans for a professionally built skate park with state-of-the-art facilities, a great outdoor alternative for youths, are already in the works.
