Rotary Peace Park Malaysia
A peace park embraced by pristine lakes
At Smart ORS, Bestari Jaya, the lakes spark life and provide a serene setting for unity, goodwill, friendship and environmental education.
About the site
LUAS embraced Rotary's Peace Park idea and made available a strategic site adjacent to Sg. Selangor and UNISEL University Campus. The total area is 120.80 hectares, including 63.41 hectares comprising seven lakes.
The ex-mining lakes augment raw water supply for Klang Valley, Kuala Selangor and Hulu Selangor districts, and the site was gazetted in 2013 as an Alternative Water Resource Protection Zone under Section 48 of the LUAS Enactment 1999.
