Queenstown Sport Centre reopens on Aug 8 with upgraded facilities
Key features include an enhanced rugby field built to World Rugby standards and a new dry-dive facility for national athletes.
Queens Sport Centre officially reopens on Aug 8 after a three-year redevelopment, featuring upgraded facilities for the community and high-performance athletes. The sport centre in Singapore, which opened in 1970, is now equipped with a new 1,000 sq m ActiveSG gym, conventional and HUR strength-training machines, a mobile pool hoist, accessibility ramps, central lifts, and refurbished changing rooms with height-adjustable beds.
World Rugby standards have been met for the newly constructed artificial grass rugby field, and dedicated team-changing rooms have been added. The queenstown sport centre’s iconic roof, stone-clad planter boxes, and the retaining wall near the pool entrance have been preserved. ActiveSG chief Tan Hock Leong emphasized the importance of catering to seniors and persons with disabilities, while Sport Singapore’s chief Lim Hong Khiang noted the significance of retaining familiar elements while embracing the past and appealing to newer residents and young families.
