A resident in Tengah has thanked the local council after it introduced a six-month trial of foam balls at a pickleball court. The measure follows three complaints about noise from the area. The Chua Chu Kang Town Council has decided to limit the use of regular balls to reduce sound levels. The trial is set to begin at Blk 119A Plantation Crescent. The council said the change aims to address concerns from nearby residents. The move is part of ongoing efforts to manage community noise. The trial will run for six months. The council has not yet announced details on how the trial will be monitored. The decision reflects growing awareness of neighborhood noise issues. The area is known for its recreational facilities. The council has not received any formal complaints yet. The trial is expected to start soon.
