Singapore, 14 September 2020 – After wrapping up the temporary housing project for migrant workers, the Singapore Sports Hub is set to be the centerstage of lifestyle and sporting activities once more. Members of the public can now revisit and get active at their favourite spots like the 100PLUS Promenade, Stingray® at Splash-N-Surf, Sports Hub Hard Courts and Skate Park from today, and the OCBC Arena from Wednesday, 16 September
With the safety and well-being of the community and employees of Singapore Sports Hub employees as the utmost priority, all the venues have undergone extensive disinfections and sanitisation prior to reopening.
“We’re looking forward to the buzz of badminton, basketball, and netball players at the OCBC Arena, active bodies jogging along 100PLUS Promenade, and families bonding at the SplashN-Surf. Their lively presence at the Sports Hub affirms our purpose in the development of local sports and communities. I am personally excited to welcome more of our patrons back, with the assurance of safe management measures in place for them to exercise, play, and train safely,” said Lionel Yeo, Chief Executive Officer of the Singapore Sports Hub
