  • Tennis Playground – Kiaramas Cendana Condo

    Tennis Playground – Kiaramas Cendana Condo

    This playground belongs to a private condominium located at Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur. There are many high rise apartments & condo in Bukit Kiara & a lot of them has tennis courts. There are two hard courts here, they are located above the condo’s carpark & the surrounding are full of greeneries as you can see from the picture. The court side facilities are nice, with a barbecue area & a shade rest area with fans & lights. Its a good place to have a nice tennis gathering. The court blue paint seems to become powdery & are coming out of the surface. I find this problem consistent with most tennis courts found on medium to high cost condos around the city. Maybe they’re made by the same court construction company? I would rate the courts here 8 out of 10 at the time of this posting. But one court has a more faded blue than the other, maybe they’re surfaced at a different time. I dont know about the night lighting condition as I havent been here during the night yet. The official site of this condo is at kiaramascendanacondo.com Enjoy the pictures below:

    Adidas Barricade 7

    Here’s the latest reincarnation of the Barricade model. Available for your own customization at www.miadidas.com website now. It is rumored to be lighter than Barricade VI & in my opinion looks better. Below are some pictures from a Adidas shop in Thailand. It is already on sale at shops around the world at the time of this posting.

  • Tennis Playground – Kompleks Sukan Datuk Keramat

    Tennis Playground – Kompleks Sukan Datuk Keramat

    The Datuk Keramat sports complex is located at Jalan Jelatek which is along Jalan Ampang. This complex is less than 7 minutes drive from KLCC if the traffic is free flowing. Aside from 2 usable tennis courts, there are also indoor badminton courts. This complex is owned by DBKL (Kuala Lumpur City Hall) & it is for public rental.

    I dont know about the night lighting here as I havent been here during night time. There are actually 3 tennis courts here but only 2 of them are usable. The courts here are badly located because it is next to a busy road. This place is filled with noise & dust pollution all the time. Accessibility is good because there is a LRT station right across the road & it is easy to find this place if you’re coming from Jalan Ampang via KLCC. The court surface is fine on both courts buy the lines are faded. I would rate the courts here 7/10 but since it is next to a busy road & you can actually hit balls over the fence onto traffic, I think a rating of 3/10 would be fair.

    To book the courts, you can call 03-4251 4966 . Check out the pictures of the courts below:
