Children playing with bubbles at Putra Heights Community Park, which will host the city council’s car-free day on May 12.
A new community park in Putra Heights will be the focal point for Subang Jaya City Council’s (MBSJ) car-free day this Sunday.
Putra Heights Community Park was completed last December by Sime Darby Property Bhd.
The 0.4ha park is equipped with facilities such as children’s playground, kite-flying area, elderly-friendly exercise equipment, and 1km pedestrian path.
It is expected to become one of the community hubs in the township alongside Putra Heights recreational park and Putra Bestari 2 neighbourhood park.
Urban 30km Ride is returning to Subang Jaya’s car-free day to challenge cyclists.
The first of MBSJ’s car-free days this year was held at the location, launched by mayor Datuk Mohd Fauzi Mohd Yatim.
Visitors can expect similar vibes at the second car-free day on May 12, from 7am to 11am.
They could see a repeat of games and challenges, silat displays or Eco Free Market, while returning activities include the Urban 30km Ride, archery and colouring contests, breakfast bazaar and MBSJ mobile counter.
Putra Heights Community Park has a variety of features such as children’s playground.
“We hope more people will enjoy the park as there are a lot of facilities for them.
“We also welcome participation from the local community to do business or organise exhibitions during the car-free day,” said Mohd Fauzi. — By JAROD LIM
