Singapore’s only dedicated BMX track opens in Brickland-Tengah as part of new multi-sport facility
The facility, called The Bricks, also features a sheltered basketball court, fitness areas for adults and seniors, and a playground.
Singapore's sole dedicated BMX racing track has officially opened in Brickland-Tengah, providing residents with an additional fitness option in a single location. The new 1,200 square meter facility, known as The Bricks, is situated along Choa Chu Kang Avenue 7 and boasts a variety of amenities including a sheltered basketball court, fitness areas for adults and seniors, and a playground.
Minister for Transport Jeffrey Siow unveiled the facility on August 15, alongside other Chua Chu Kang Group Representation Committee (GRC) MPs, including Trade and Industry Minister Tan See Leng and State Minister for Foreign Affairs Zhulkarnain Abdul Rahim. The Bricks is part of Singapore's Sport-in-Precinct initiative, which aims to make public sports facilities more accessible.
The BMX track, built to international competition standards, is the only one of its kind in the Republic and could potentially host the SEA Games BMX cycling event in 2029. Hing Siong Chen, president of the Singapore Cycling Federation, believes the track will help develop BMX athletes who may eventually compete in other cycling disciplines.
The facility is one of 24 in Singapore as part of the Sport-in-Precinct initiative and represents a significant investment in public sports spaces. The upcoming Brickland-Tengah community club will be located at the void deck of a nearby block, offering a central hub for activities and programs. Housing Board initiatives, such as the Remaking Our Heartland plan, will see renovations to the Keat Hong Shopping Centre, enhancing accessibility, adding shelters, and providing better access to nearby Tembusu Park.
These developments align with the Chua Chu Kang Town Council's $212 million, five-year plan to revamp homes and infrastructure in the area.
