It seems difficult to locate boules courts in Kuala Lumpur, using various sources such as pictures (and shadows), sat images, maps … For example, I contacted Petanque Uputra, to map their courts, but they seems resilient to release geographic information… This feels useless, because satellite data will eventually reveal their location… I finally nailed it.

While trying to locate Petanque KL (I think I found it), I discovered the difficulty of working with outdated sat data. THis is the location I thin I found : https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=3.12394&mlon=101.73567#map=18/3.12394/101.73567 The sat image providers in OSM show this area as covered in woods, while Google Maps shows the most recent data…

This quest started when a petanque contact Bayarsaikhan (MN) drew my attention to the 2019-09-13/17 Asian Oceania Bocce Junior championships in Putrajaya.

It seems that many schools in Malaysia have petanque facilities.
