COME this July 15, it will be two years since the Taman Subang Ria public hearing which saw residents and property owner cum developer Sime Darby Property Berhad(SDPB) exchanging barbs over the proposed development of the area. The outcome of the public hearing left the 72.63acres of land which is alienated for recreational development and related activities into limbo. Over the last two years, the tug-of-war between a highly vocal group of residents and SDPB continued.

Yesterday (July 13), SDPB managing director Dato' Tunku Putra Badlishah broke the silence and shared with the media the company's vision for the park.


New Ideas, Fresh Plans, New Beginning

ALMOST 75% of the 72.63 acre Taman Subang Ria will be upgraded into a top-notch recreation park before being handed over to the Subang Jaya Municipal Council, if fresh proposals by SDPB are given the greenlight to proceed, according to its managing director Dato' Tunku Putra Badlishah.

This facelift is estimated to cost between RM15mil to RM20mil.

"Around 53.7 acres of the park which includes the lake will be given a facelift with many features added in to make it an urban refuge for Subang Jaya residents."

"Some of the changes will include demolishing the dilapidated amphitheatre and building a brand new facility within the park," he said.

According to Tunku Putra Badlishah, access to the park will be from Persiaran Kemajuan, replacing the present access which is right between Sheraton Subang and Holiday Villa Subang Hotel & Suites.

"The present access will be converted into a pedestrian access," he added.

As part of landscape features, a symbiosis of hard and soft landscape materials will be used.

 

 

 

This dilapidated amphitheatre will be demolised and rebuild (see illustration below) within the park.


 

 More practical facilities are expected to be introduced to the park, some of which according to Tunku Putra Badlishah would include follies to be constructed around the park to act as shelter, resting points, food and beverage outlets and security for park users.

"Our team had gone on site and monitored the activities during the day. We gauged what Subang Jaya residents do at the park even to the later parts of the day."

"Based on this, we have come up with more than 40 activities to be introduced," he said.

 

 "Fencing along the parameter of the park will be done tastefully with green foliage separating even the jogging track from the proposed road running parallel to the park."

Tunku Putra Badlishah said hedges and natural fencing between the access road-Federal Highway and the park would be placed to block out sound and disturbances.

"Residents want a park. Surely they want an upgraded park," he said.

Below are some of the slides on the proposed upgrade of the park:
