“With more Malaysians prioritising health and fitness, we tried to kick things up a notch with the Costume Fun Run, where runners are encouraged to run in their favourite outfits or character costumes,” he said.

“We complemented this with Fun Day@Central Park, where we bring the 16 Sierra community as well as people from all walks of life together to enjoy a day of fun in the sun while showcasing the park’s upgraded facilities,” he added.

Meanwhile, General Manager of 16 Sierra, Calvin Sew said the Central Park was first opened in 2010 as a communal green space bringing residents and visitors together to enjoy the outdoors.

“As 16 Sierra matured and more families moved in, we have taken the initiative to upgrade the facilities and introduce new amenities to better serve the growing community and residents' needs.

“Today, we have added a pet-friendly zone equipped with a challenge course where people can bring their furbabies to have fun, along with wider jogging and cycling paths, bicycle parking nodes, exercise stations for seniors and adults, a rainbow park, viewing deck and sand pits play area, and enhanced amphitheatre, futsal and basketball facilities, as well as an outdoor badminton court to complement our indoor courts at Amigo Clubhouse

“Other features include our park gazebos, which we have upgraded with more comfortable and sustainable seating, as well as Instagram hotspots, such as our rainbow park arch and decorated trellis, for the social media-savvy to shoot and share,” he said.

As part of IOIPG's focus on sustainability, 16 Sierra's Central Park was enhanced with 29 solar-powered lights for patrons' safety and illumination, as well as 25 new recyclable benches. 

The new park gazebos also utilise solar-powered lighting. In addition, a bioswale drainage system was implemented to improve existing drainage and reduce erosion while filtering out pollutants and safeguarding groundwater, in line with biophilic design principles.
