We all have our favourite go-to sport, but it doesn't hurt to change it up every now and then

Though there are a plethora of parks, fields, and centres for us to play the sports we love, oftentimes they cater to only one kind of sport.

Sometimes, going to a sports centre is more fun than going to a football field or basketball court complex.

Here are eight sports centres around PJ and KL that switch things up, and have multiple courts for different kinds of sports.
