    While the tennis courts may not be the best court that we have featured here on tennis.my, it is still playable as you can see from the pictures below and there are also two courts. I dont know about the night lighting condition as the photos are contributed by a resident & I haven’t play here personally. Anyway the courts here are for residents only like all condo courts so if you are in search of condos with tennis courts around this area, you can check it out.

  • Tennis Playground – Kompleks Sukan PKNS

    Tennis Playground – Kompleks Sukan PKNS

    Kompleks Sukan PKNS is located at Kelana Jaya, Selangor. It is located nearby a more famous Tennis facility which is the MBPJ tennis courts. The tennis courts here are open for public booking, for further inquiries please call 017-682 0620 (Nizam). The courts here are located inside the PKNS sports complex & there is a football field & badminton hall as well. There are shower rooms but all of the shower heads has been stolen (LoL).

    The night lighting here is pretty good & is on par with the courts at Duta tennis centre. Out of 5 tennis courts here, 2 are quite new & in nice condition, the other 3 are very rough & dirty. Your balls would turn black pretty fast if you were to play at the other 3 courts so make so you book the 2 nice ones. I would rate the 2 nice courts & the night lighting here for 10/10 if not for the problems below:

    1. The location of the courts are totally wrong for tennis. It is sitting right beside the busy LDP highway & rather close to the roadside as well. The air quality here are polluted by the heavy traffic & because the highway are elevated above the courts, dust particles would land & accumalate on the courts & make them dirty through time. A lot of times during play, some car with loud exhaust would blast by & caused a lot of sound interference.

    2. There are lotsa holes on the fencing of the 2 nice courts & on some higher part of the fencing on the side court, the fence wires are torn & you would experience a lot of balls flying out of the court if you were to use that court.

    The plus point on the courts here are that they’re easier to book & a lot less hassle than booking the MBPJ courts. To reach the courts here if you’re from KL, just drive to federal highway & go up the penang bridge after guiness & turn right into LDP. Go straight & pass Western Digital factory on your left & take the first left turn after you come down the Western Digital flyover. After the left turn, take the first right near the houses/field & you’re there already.

  • Tennis Playground – Kelana Jaya MBPJ courts

    Tennis Playground – Kelana Jaya MBPJ courts

    This place is one of MBPJ’s finest tennis facility located at Kelana Jaya sports centre, very near to the MAS Training Centre. Its a public court with 8 tennis courts & 2 practice wall.One of the court is an indoor one as you can see from the pictures. It is a very busy place during the weekends as there are a lot of match plays & mini tournaments here. You can see a lot of good juniors playing here. I would advice against playing here from 9am to 4.30pm as this place is so open & hot but if you like the sun, you can go ahead.

    I would rate the courts here 8/10. If the night lighting is as good as the Jalan Duta courts, I would have given this place a 9/10. During the photo shoot, they were repairing two courts… a good sign that the management is taking care of the facilities here. The only problem with the courts here are the court booking hassle. You cant book courts at the playing venue here. The booking office is at PJ Civic Centre along Jalan Yong Shook Lin which is like 10km away. You can get more info at their website & address below:
