Queenstown Sport Centre reopens on Aug 8 with upgraded facilities

HONOURING ITS HERITAGE

Opened in 1970, the venue was Singapore’s first neighbourhood sports complex and has hosted National Day parades and sporting events.

“With Queenstown’s strong sporting heritage, we hope to continue providing the community with opportunities to reconnect through sport, while embracing and celebrating our past,” said Mr Tan.

As part of the redevelopment, signature features, including the complex’s iconic roof, have been retained and incorporated in the design of the new buildings.

Existing stone-clad planter boxes and the retaining wall near the pool entrance have also been preserved.

Mr Lim Hong Khiang, chief of the Sport Infrastructure Group at Sport Singapore (SportSG), said retaining these familiar elements helps long-time residents maintain a connection with the venue even as it enters a new chapter.
