  • Tennis Playground – Sri Penaga Condo

    Tennis Playground – Sri Penaga Condo

    Here’s some court pictures from Sri Penaga, one of the earliest condominium in Bukit Bandaraya, Bangsar. Situated right across the street from Bangsar Shopping Complex, this condominium is a favourite residential place among expatriates in Kuala Lumpur. The courts has been just resurfaced 2 weeks before the pictures below are taken. I was here in the morning so I dont know about the lighting condition at night but I would rate the court surface at 10 out of 10 as it is still fresh & new. My only complaint would be the rather narrow side room outside the double’s alley which would be a problem if doubles tennis are being played on the court.

  • Tennis Playground – Opal Damansara

    Tennis Playground – Opal Damansara

    Had a chance to test out this court Opal Damansara at Sunway Damansara recently. This condo is located near The Club & is easily accessible via Penchala link & LDP highway. The condo is loaded with facilities like pool, badminton court & gym. According to one of the tenant that I’m with during the visit, no one really uses the court here. As you see from the pictures, the court is in good shape but I didnt test out the lightings though. I would rate the court 8/10, but it would be higher if it is not for the sun vertical direction which makes one side of the court totally impossible to play on during sunset & sunrise. Thats the first thing that you need to check whenever u build a tennis court, the sun’s direction. Tennis court aside, the condo here are beautiful, something that your would expect from a Rm600,000 to Rm700,000 semi furnished condo.

  • Tennis Playground – Valencia Sungai Buloh

    Tennis Playground – Valencia Sungai Buloh

    This is one of the nicer tennis playground in Klang Valley. Unfortunately, it is a private tennis playground for residents of Valencia, Sungai Buloh only. Valencia is one of Gamuda Land’s township developments that was launched in 2002. The township was formerly a golf course called by the same name. The concept for this development is a boutique golf residential development and features a private, residents-only, 9-hole golf course and clubhouse.

    Valencia is located to the north of Kuala Lumpur, in Sungai Buloh, near the Sungai Buloh Forest Reserve and Botanical Garden. It is accessible via the Damansara-Puchong Expressway and the New Klang Valley Expressway (Sungai Buloh Exit). Valencia features a residents-only golf course, along with a clubhouse and a village square with specialty shops and services. There are 3 courts inside Valencia, all nice condition as can be seen in the pictures below. If you like golf & tennis, Valencia would be a heaven for you with it’s gated residential homes consisting of bungalows, semi-dees, garden terraces and hill court houses.

    Valencia is next to Sierramas Sungai Buloh, another similar gated residential community which we will cover hopefully in the future.

  • 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:

  • Tennis Playground – UKM Bangi

    Tennis Playground – UKM Bangi

    This is another university playground which we covered recently. These courts belong to Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia located in Bangi, Selangor. There are 5 courts here, most of which are in 7/10 condition & below. The surroundings at this sports area of the university is nice & full of greeneries. The courts here are for UKM’s students & staffs only so for most of us, the posting & pictures here are just for us to see & admire =).

  • 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:
