TAMAN TASIK MANJALARA SURVEY

In this & subsequent 3 blogs we shall post the survey results of what the residents in this area wish to see as improvement to the park, have you made yourself heard? If not, blog to us

1.     PARKING

Comment on Existing Condition

Except for security (which is lacking) otherwise generally OK, but because of limited bays, visitors are compelled to park by the road-side

A container TEU  has been left in the car park made shortage of parking lot worse

Suggestions for Improvement

1.1 Improve Security (presence of guards preferably) including better lightings at internal car parks

1.2 Tarmac or simply make interlocking blocks for larger section of the road-shoulders next to the Park (present stretch badly damaged & water retention too) to generate more parking lot.

1.3 To initiate discussion with adjacent mosque and also the Pusat Komuniti to open car parks to public as well.

1.4 Tow away the disused TEU container 

2.     FOOTPATH / LIGHTING / SAFETY / ASSISTANCE

Comment on Existing Condition

Footpath (esp next to toilet, and next to tai chi area, and also at hill top) badly damaged due to soil movement, elsewhere the Recently Added Track at hill top very slippery when wet.

Existing Lights damaged (not repaired)

One jetty declared unsafe near collapsing

Some part of the lake without railings may be dangerous to young children

Grass turf next to Playground #1 completely soaked by leaking underground piping, rendering the footpath slippery

Part of the drain covers were replaced, elsewhere drains covers are either missing or badly deformed, many covers were stolen too

Suggestions for Improvement

2.1 Urgently repair footpaths wherever there is crack, uneven surface.

2.2 Urgently construct anti-slip features in Recently Added Track and add hand railings for better grip either going up or coming down all other steep sections of Steep Tracks 1 to 4

2.3 Urgently repair collapsing jetty

2.4 Construct a NEW footpath to provide safer walk for those visitors taking short-cut from Syabas reservoir to Steep Track # 2

2.5 Construct NEW railings by lakeside especially flat sections easily accessible by children

2.6 Regular checks & repair lightings

2.7 Repair leaking underground piping near Car Park 2

2.8 Complete the exercise of replacing all metal drain covers with the reinforced plastic types to discourage pilferage
