Fernvale residents are getting a new sports and recreation spot right next to Thanggam LRT station, with The Sports Arina (TSA) @ Jalan Kayu slated to open by the end of April 2026. And the line-up is hard to ignore, with facilities spanning every sport imaginable – as well as clubs endorsed by Olympic medalists.

From what’s been revealed, TSA @ Jalan Kayu is going big on variety. There’ll be an indoor pickleball, futsal, and padel court, a swimming pool and children’s training pool, badminton and table tennis courts, a gymnastics gym and pilates studio, a multi-purpose hall, and even a contrast therapy facility, all under one roof.

Apart from the facilities, programming is also a big part of the venue – and they are led by some big names. There’ll be swim classes for young kids held in a heated learner pool by Olympic gold medalist Joseph Schooling’s Swim Lab; a table tennis academy set up by triple Olympic medalist Feng Tian Wei; and football classes for kids by the Lion City Sailors Football School, run by one of the most recognised professional teams in the Singapore Premier League.

The hub is designed with residential neighbours in mind: soundproofing will be incorporated where needed, the pickleball hall will be fully enclosed, and greenery will be planted around the perimeter to help soften noise and activity levels.
