GL Play on A Mission
With a mission to create a haven for leisure and adventure where guests can reconnect with the wonders of nature as well as engage in exciting sporting adventures, GL Play has mindfully designed these unique components at Gamuda Cove:
- Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands
- Wetlands Arboretum
- Discovery Park
- SplashMania Waterpark
With a curation of activities and events ranging from urban farming, birdwatching, fishing, water play, camping, paintball and go-karting to joining the edutainment programmes or a Safari Insta-Tour, guests are assured of an experiential immersion of all senses where tranquillity and excitement coexist!
Let’s Take a Quick Tour Around
Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands
The Paya Indah Discovery Wetlands consist of 1,111 acres of natural wetlands that act as a habitat for diverse wildlife.
This spectacular natural conservatory with 14 lakes is home to over 14 species of reptiles (including crocodiles and turtles!) and 225 species of birds, as well as hippopotamuses and other mammals.
There will not be a dull moment here!
Hop on the back of a safari truck with experienced rangers on its Safari Insta-Tour and take a scenic tour through a beautiful bamboo trail, the Sendayan Lake, and the nostalgic Rumah Melayu!
Lots of beautiful scenery for the family album!
Nature lovers in the family, look out for some amazing wildlife along the banks as you go on a leisurely Boat Cruise across a lake in an open boat.
Wetlands Arboretum
Meanwhile, the Wetlands Arboretum is a natural sanctuary for wildlife conservation, nature research, and forest fitness.
It aims to fight climate change while fostering education and biodiversity research.
Established as a base for environmental education, it has introduced more than 200 species and approximately 3,000 trees are preserved in this initiative!
Programmes available in the Wetlands Arboretum Centre include the Jungle School Programme 2.0, an outdoor social learning experience created for family and children ages 4-12 years old.
It also serves as a platform for Orang Asli communities to showcase their cultural values through the Orang Asli handicraft workshop.
A perfect way to get closer and learn about our friends of the land!
Discovery Park
Next up, the toes-wiggling Discovery Park is a 23–acre park that offers an exciting and unique experience of Sporting & Adventure.
Dare we say? This is GL Play’s ultimate location for adventure!
With a long list of activities—be it the carousel for the young’uns, the trampoline, or even the bungee trampoline—we promise the only sound the kids will make is happy squeals and heart-warming laughs!
And that’s not all; there is something for adult thrill seekers too!
Be sure to check out:
- Cove Aerobar: The very first in Southeast Asia, Cove Aerobar is the crown jewel of Discovery Park. Enjoy a breathtaking view of the entire park from 35 meters above the ground.
- Goosebumps Rope Course: The rope course with the greatest number of elements in Malaysia, as certified by the Malaysia Book of Records. It is 16 meters high and 20 meters in diameter. It has 11 climbing elements for kids and a whopping 57 climbing elements for adults, including abseiling and even a rooftop event platform!
- Beach Pool Club: This inspired poolside oasis is the perfect place to chill and relax the sunny, breezy afternoon away while the thrill-seeking kids discharge their endless load of energy!
But wait, there’s more!
From 13 August 2023 onward, new activities like Paintball Target Shooting, RUD Karting, ATV, and Archery (September 2023) will be rolled out in stages to up the fun factor!
The speed of RUD’s brand new electric karts can be remotely-adjusted, so racers as little as 60 cm can now experience go-karting!
RUD Karting is bringing the popular The Rud Cafe & Bistro to Gamuda Cove, where you can fuel up while enjoying the penthouse view of the race track from the camping-style terrace.
SplashMania Waterpark
In this hot tropical weather, there is no better place to be than at the SplashMania Waterpark, now this is where you come for nature and stay for the fun!
Home to award-winning water slides and first-of-its-kind attractions, no one will be allowed to feel bored here! That’s for sure!
Let’s take a look at some of the slides available to whet your appetite:

- Mini Monsta: While there’s a humongous Monsta slide available for the strong-hearted ones, not to worry, the little ones will not be left out either. Check out this mini (but equally exhilarating!) slide with your younger children for a relaxing and fun time!
- Amazonia: A multi-level ship (Yes, you read that right. A life-sized SHIP!) that contains an event space, waterslides, DJ deck, and a Titanic Moment spot to feed your ‘Gram. It’s like taking a cruise, but better!
