We stopped by Kallang this weekend and checked out the brand new sports hub which opened in June. The hub includes the national stadium, library, recreation room, museum, water playground and retail mall. This July, there are quite a few free or special events as many stores and features are not yet open. We used to visit the indoor stadium and waterfront for weekend brunches and family evenings, but hadn’t returned since the rebuilding works began ~2+ years ago. Last time we were there, B was a wee 3 month old baby! This time, he was an active and chatty 31 month old tot 🙂
The stadium’s retractable seating makes it the only one in the world able to host diverse sports events, concerts, family entertainment shows, national and community events.The retractable roof and localised comfort cooling technology keeps things COOLLayout of the 55,000 capacity National StadiumLots of open spaces to run, scoot and bike. There’s also a kid’s waterpark (not yet completed)There’s a running track (with toy cars and kid-sized shopping carts) inside the Fairprice XtraLarge chess set and Wii games in the library/rec roomThe gorgeous view from the stadiumAdmiring the lights as we take a stroll after dinner
It was all very peaceful and new, though some parts are still a work in progress. Highlight for B to able to scoot safely and easily, as the walkways are wide, smooth and not crowded
My parents went over the weekend too and were so amazed at all the facilities. I want to go and take a look for myself too!
