Getting Thrilled @ Putrajaya Challenge Park

Putrajaya Challenge Park is definitely an exciting place for those seeking an adrenaline-rush or to challenge themselves. The facilities run by Perbadanan Putrajaya (Putrajaya Municipality), are well-managed and have a range of options to cater for visitors of all ages and levels of ability.

Even a beginner like me can find something fun to do here!

Anyway, the well-designed park was opened to the public in 2009 and has three main attractions:

• Skate Park – Flow park with terrain designed for skating
• Thrill Park - Mountain Bike & BMX Trails
• Indoor Rock Wall Climbing Complex– Walls of varying difficulty, for beginners and experts alike

Skate Park is specially designed flow parks that create memorable skateboarding, rollerblading and stunt riding experiences. The park features many terrain types, including bowls and street obstacles that skaters can mix and match around to create the ultimate skate challenge.

It was a hot sunny day at noon when we visited the park, therefore there were not many visitors there, according to the staff.

The Thrill Park is located behind the Skate Park. The signboard stated that it is dedicated for mountain bikes and BMX bikes. Sorry, other bikes are not allowed there.

The steep tar road and hillside trails are purposely laid out for bike rides that test your riding skills.

There are also pump trails for the more adventurous cyclists, who can always attempt multiple dirt jumps.

The staircases connecting the Thrill Park to the Skate Park.

The Skate Park and Thrill Park are open daily and you don’t need to pay to play here!

Operating hours:
10am - 7pm (Monday - Thursday)

15 minutes walking distance away is the indoor rock wall climbing complex. 

The complex is huge like a stadium, with a total area of 2100 square feet and reaching up to 20 meters high. It is rated as the biggest artificial indoor wall climbing in South East Asia.

There are 6 zones for different levels of climbing expertise:

Zone A 
Expert Bouldering Wall

Zone B 
Beginners Bouldering Wall

Zone C
 Expert Lead Wall

Zone D  
Beginners Top Roping Wall

Zone E 
Speed Climbing Wall

Zone F 
Advanced Lead Climbing Wall

We were awed by the interior of the wall designs. Some of my friends were just unafraid of heights and enjoyed their climb. As I have acrophobia, I just tried climbing at Zone B, which is rather easy. A thick spring bed is put underneath the wall for safety purpose. 

If you are adventurous enough, you can try Zone D Beginners Top Roping Wall. You will be equipped with the climbing ropes, harness, belay device and special climbing shoes. 

PCP Wall Climbing Complex provides wall climbing rental equipment at 3 hours per session. The prices are: 

RM15.00 for Climbing Ropes, 

RM7.00 for Climbing Shoes, 

RM5.00 for Harness, 

RM4.00 for Belay Devices

I will advise you guys go in a group to share the rental cost together.

That evening, we also spotted someone doing speed climbing.
