Discovery Park A Tourism Landmark

This zone also offers art and food enthusiasts a creative market called The Hive that will be curated by Invade, known for its innovative retail concepts, pop-up retail store management and runs some of the largest flea markets.

Also appearing in the Hangout Village is the Kitchen Mafia by celebrity chef Sherson Lian and award-winning chef Johnny Fua, renowned for their hospitality which ranges from food, drinks to their showmanship.

Future attractions include a chocolate factory and more thematic retail shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.

Sports Park

This area will house international standard sports facilities, such as an Olympic-length swimming pool, badminton and football academy, a golf driving range suitable for all ages and levels of players, and a wellness centre.

There will also be experiential cycling and walking trails to enjoy picturesque views of surrounding nature.

Opening 2019

Gamuda Land’s Ngan said the company is confident that Discovery Park would be the key destination for local and foreign visitors and a defining landmark in the region when it starts operating next year.

“It will be exciting years to come for Gamuda Land. By leveraging on the increased population density of the central region and capturing the inflow of people from both North and South, we hope to create places that drive the socio-economic benefits of the region,” he said.

Gamuda Cove Discovery Park is scheduled for partial opening in 2019 with its Adventure Park and Hangout Village, and full opening with all zones by 2020. The company is still in talks with more retailers.

Next in the pipeline for Gamuda Cove is the water theme park to open by 2022 to complement Discovery Park.

Nature sanctuary, future city

The main township of Gamuda Cove is Gamuda Land’s latest township development strategically located in the southern corridor, along the Elite Highway and opposite Cyberjaya and close to KLIA and KLIA2.

Dubbed the “nature sanctuary, future city”, Gamuda Cove which has a gross development value of RM20bil is planned as a smart sustainable township that encompasses homes, businesses, education, arts and culture, wellness, leisure and entertainment components.

It adheres to four development pillars of being a nature-inspired sanctuary, a smart sustainable city, a tourism and entertainment centre, and as the nucleus of south Klang Valley.

“What truly differentiates Gamuda Land’s townships is our mindful planning, and to be able to bring all the components together thoughtfully,” Ngan said.

“Like how we are mindful of the wetlands and forest reserve when we lay out the parks and lakes with native plants to maintain a balanced ecosystem and how we think through the connectivity and infrastructure master plan so that the residential, commercial and public places will come together to make the town work,” he said.
