History of TRX City Park
The park is part of Tun Razak Exchange, a 70-acre financial district named after Malaysia's second prime minister, Tun Abdul Razak. The project began in the early 2010s under the name Kuala Lumpur International Financial District (KLIFD) as part of the government's Economic Transformation Programme, during the premiership of Najib Razak. The master developer, TRX City Sdn Bhd, is owned by the Ministry of Finance. The district plan covers 26 buildings and over 21 million square feet of floor space, built in phases over about 15 years.
The lifestyle quarter at its centre, The Exchange TRX, was developed as a joint venture between TRX City and the Australian group Lendlease, which holds a 60% stake. The design put a large public park on the mall's roof rather than at ground level. The overall concept came from the landscape practice Oculus (Melbourne and Sydney studios), with landscape design by Pentago and architectural elements by GDP. Their theme was the Malaysian landscape: as you walk through the park, it shifts between forest edges, limestone outcrops, an urban village, hillside ravines and streams running down to coastal lowlands, with areas of ethnobotanical planting (plants used for food and medicine).
The Exchange TRX mall, with more than 400 stores over four levels, and the park both opened to the public on 29 November 2023. Exchange 106, the 106-storey office tower next door, rises to 453.6 metres and is the third-tallest building in Malaysia.
What to See and Do in TRX City Park
Gardens and planting
Developers reported more than 180,000 locally sourced plants and 900 trees at opening; the mall today describes over 150,000 plants from about 150 local species. Highlights include:
- Forest Walk: a shaded path lined with Malaysian tree species.
- Inspiration Garden: a quieter area with a koi pond.
- Serenity Garden: beds of medicinal and edible plants.
- Park Avenue and City Avenue: the two main promenades through the park.
Play areas
- Water Play: splash and sensory play for younger children; bring a change of clothes.
- Play City (Play Village): climbing structures inspired by traditional local architecture, with sections for toddlers up to children of about 12.
- Play Cave: a climbing and exploring structure full of nooks, aimed at older children and teenagers.
- Step Cascade: a stepped water feature designed for all ages.
Event Lawn, dining and views
The Event Lawn hosts concerts, community events and pop-up cinema screenings through the year; check The Exchange TRX events calendar. Around the park are seven alfresco restaurants and cafes with terrace seating. For photos, the lawns give a clear view up to Exchange 106, and in the evening the lit tower and the city skyline make a good backdrop.
Opening Hours, Entry and How Long to Spend
- Entry: free.
- Hours: the park is open daily, but The Exchange TRX does not publish a fixed schedule for it online, and access to some areas (especially the water and play areas) may be limited in the late evening or during events. Check with The Exchange TRX on +60 3 8682 9888 if you plan a late visit.
- Time needed: 30 to 45 minutes for a walk round; one to two hours with children or a meal.
How to Get to TRX City Park
- MRT: Tun Razak Exchange station, an interchange for the Kajang Line and Putrajaya Line, connects directly into The Exchange TRX. Take the escalators or lifts up through the mall to the park level.
- From Bukit Bintang: about 15 minutes on foot, or one MRT stop from Bukit Bintang station on the Kajang Line.
- Grab or taxi: ask for The Exchange TRX; there are drop-off points at the mall entrances.
- Driving: use the mall's basement car park (paid). The district has direct access from the SMART Tunnel and the Maju Expressway.
Tips for Visiting
- Late afternoon and early evening are the most pleasant times: midday on an open roof is very hot, while after 5 pm the shade lengthens and the tower lights come on.
- The water play areas are popular at weekends and in school holidays; arrive earlier in the day for a quieter session.
- Paths are paved and there are lifts from the mall, so the park works well with pushchairs and wheelchairs.
- If it rains, The Exchange TRX mall below has more than 400 shops and plenty of restaurants to wait it out.
- Combine the park with Bukit Bintang's shopping streets or Jalan Alor for dinner, both within walking distance.
