Revitalising the Jurong West Sport Centre

Response to parliamentary question on the plans to review, rejuvenate and revitalise ActiveSG Jurong West Sports Stadium to enhance the vibrancy and visitorship of the premises.

Oral PQ 5292. Mr Patrick Tay Teck Guan: To ask the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth whether there are plans to review, rejuvenate and revitalise ActiveSG Jurong West Sports Stadium by offering a wider selection of food and beverage and retail options to further enhance the vibrancy and visitorship of the premises.

1. SportSG plans the rejuvenation of all our sport centres based on factors such as age, expected period to redevelopment and alignment to town development plans, to ensure that they continue to serve residents’ needs well. Jurong West Sport Centre is not yet due for a rejuvenation.
2. Currently, the majority of Jurong West Sport Centre’s spaces are leased to childcare centres and enrichment schools, with the remaining spaces not equipped with the exhaust and electrical provisions required to support F&B operations. SportSG has introduced F&B vending machines at the centre to offer more options for visitors, and there are F&B and retail options nearby such as Nanyang neighbourhood centre, Pioneer Mall, Joo Koon MRT, the recently re-opened Jurong West Hawker Centre, and the upcoming BTO at Jurong West Street 93.
3. When Jurong West Sport Centre is due for rejuvenation, we will explore enhancing its infrastructure to support more F&B options. SportSG will continue to work with partners in the neighbourhood to enhance the vibrancy and visitorship of Jurong West Sport Centre.
