KLCC Park - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

The Park co-ordinates were taken at the footbridge over Lake Symphony, a Man made lake in the middle of the park, & provides a vantage view of the KLCC Park, Lake Fountains, Suria KLCC mall and the Petronas Twin Towers.

"Lake Symphony is a 10,000 square meter man made lake with water fountains. The main fountain can shoot water up to a height of 82 metres. At night, there are lights and music daily.

The park was designed by Roberto Burle Marx. It is said that it was the last work undertaken by the Brazilian architect. When the park was designed, the aim was to "leave the world a little more sensitive and a little more educated to the importance of nature".
The park was designed to showcase a heritage of tropical greenery by integrating man's creation with nature. The park itself contrasts as a calm environment in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the city. The park features many combinations of man-made design such as cements, water features and also natural features such as trees, shrubs, stones and wood. Elements of shape and topography were created to give an illusion of space. The combination of trees, shrubs and sculptures were arranged to provide color and form to the park.
Conservation and bio-diversity was a major influence in the creation of the park. 23 of the mature and rarer specimens were saved from the old Selangor Turf Club and transplanted into the park grounds. 1900 indigenous trees and 66 species of palms were planted in the park to promote bio-diversity. The trees were deliberately selected to attract local and migratory birds.
A man made lake was built in the middle of the park, directly in front of Suria KLCC mall and Petronas Twin Towers towards the middle of the park. A 43-meter elevated bridge that cut across the lake provides a vantage view of the park and the twin towers." Text Source: (visit link)
