Although Punggol is home to Singapore’s newest digital district, it’s clearly not just a cluster of offices for tech bros. The eco-town seems to have it all – new forested trails, a hawker centre with over 40 stalls, and even a hotel with loft rooms and Coney Island views all opening within a short span of time. Soon, the new Punggol Regional Sports Centre will be part of these offerings, giving the neighbourhood in the north-east even more cred than it has already built over the years.
Opening within 2026, the massive integrated sports and recreation complex will be the first one on the island to have its own infinity pool – so you needn’t book a fancy staycation for those resort pool vibes. This will be one of five pools within Punggol Swimming Complex, which makes up just one zone of the venue. We hear that there’s a competition-sized swimming pool as well.
Racquet sports enthusiasts will be thrilled to hear of the indoor sports hall housing 20 badminton courts, of which five can double up for pickleball. There are also tennis courts, a 5,000-seater stadium for soccer matches, and a futsal court for those who prefer to play footy on smooth flooring instead of grass.
Other highlights that you typically wouldn’t expect to find in a neighbourhood sports facility: A water sports centre (kayaking or wakeboarding, hopefully?) and a dedicated archery training centre. Topping it all off are serene waterfront views, thanks to the complex being parked right in front of Punggol Waterway’s riverbank.
Punggol Regional Sports Centre is located at 11 Sentul Crescent, right across Sam Kee LRT station, which is just one stop from Punggol station. It looks pretty much fully built already, so it’s only a matter of time before the grand opening.
