Sports centre in transition

Players trying out the newly set up pickleball court at the PJ Sports Centre in Lorong Sultan, Petaling Jaya. The management also has plans to build a paddle ball court on the premises.

IN ITS heyday, Kelab Syabas in Lorong Sultan, Petaling Jaya, was a hive of activity, with swimming enthusiasts and families converging at the pool while diners thronged the restaurants and nightclubs surrounding it.

After its rebranding in 2011 to PJ Palms Sports Centre, it continued to attract a sizeable crowd and hosted businesses like swim and diving schools.
