Padel Court Management in Condet to Install Additional Soundproofing Following Resident Complaints
JAKARTA — The management of The Padel Side padel court in Condet, Batu Ampar, Kramat Jati, East Jakarta, has confirmed plans to install additional soundproofing measures in response to resident complaints about noise from the facility, particularly during evening hours.
Soleh, manager of The Padel Side, stated that the court already had soundproofing systems in place but acknowledged that the existing measures were insufficient to adequately reduce noise levels. The facility has adjusted operating hours in compliance with directives from the Jakarta Provincial Government (Pemprov) DKI Jakarta, which restricts padel court activities in residential areas until 20:00 WIB (Western Indonesia Time).
“We recently received guidance from the district and village administration that the maximum operating hour should be 21:00, with closure at 20:00 and dispersal by 21:00,” Soleh explained.
The issue gained public attention after a video circulated on social media showing a resident in the Condet area complaining about noise from the padel court operating until 23:39 WIB. The video, posted by Instagram account @chintyaade, showed the court still operating well into the late evening in a residential neighbourhood. According to the video narration, residents had previously attempted to mediate with the facility’s management, but their concerns were reportedly disregarded.
Mira, 58, a resident living near the padel court, echoed similar complaints. She stated that the noise from padel activities was particularly disruptive during evening hours and interfered with residents’ rest, especially on weekend nights.
“It is noisy, especially in the evenings and it disturbs our sleep. It happens almost every night, particularly on Saturday and Sunday evenings or holidays when it is most crowded,” Mira said when interviewed near the facility on Tuesday.
She appealed to the management to install soundproofing measures and regulate operating hours to prevent the facility from operating late into the night, emphasising that better sound insulation would reduce disturbance to surrounding residents.
