Easiest way is through Jalan Setiawangsa, heading to Jelatek from Wangsa Maju. Take a left turn at the crossroad just before LRT Setiawangsa, (you can see on your right side of the crossroad is the entrance to Kediaman Tentara Darat Diraja Malaysia) towards Jalan Keramat Hujung. Go straight until you reach a junction with Petronas Petrol Station on your left, take a left turn. The road you taken will climb a bit slope and past through few junctions, keep going straight. Take a left turn at Jalan Setiawangsa 21, you will found the Sports Complex is on your right.
The surface of the court is very good, subtle enough so you do not slip during running and dribbling. Most of the players here are from the Setiawangsa neighborhood, they play everyday and the peak hours is 6:00 PM. There is no lights available for night balling, the games will only proceed until dawn. The facilities at the complex included tennis court and futsal court, so every evening the atmosphere here was very good and energizing! Perfect place to drop by after the work hours, before you going home.
Hi Farid, came across your blog in my quest to find a good court (preferably public) around KL area. Anyway, good to see that you're providing some info that can be really difficult to find over the net.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, I'm trying to look for a public court with good surface (flat, no rough 'rocky' parts) and regulation 10' hoop with a standard basket size.
I've been to many places in Klang Valley, I was shocked to find out just how many courts that cannot fulfil these rather simple requirements. Most have a slightly lower basket (I know it, I can 'feel' it with my shot, or even more annoying, smaller hoop.
Anyway, can you give me some personal recommendations? Particularly for public courts in Klang Valley area.
