Toa Payoh Sport Centre: Redevelopment And Courts Nearby
Toa Payoh Sport Centre at 301 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh closed on 31 October 2023, and ActiveSG lists the closure as running until 2030. This page explains what is being built on the site, where you can play badminton in and around Toa Payoh today, and how we help players who want lessons nearby.
Toa Payoh Sport Centre is closed for redevelopment until 2030, when a new Regional Sport Centre with badminton courts opens as part of the Toa Payoh Integrated Development. In the meantime, Toa Payoh players can book the four courts at First Toa Payoh Primary School Hall on weekends, or use Bishan and Jalan Besar Sport Centres, which Sport Singapore suggests during the closure.
The sport centre closed to make way for a new Regional Sport Centre, part of the Toa Payoh Integrated Development, as announced by Sport Singapore in October 2023. The ActiveSG facility page marks it as a long-term closure, with its opening hours shown as closed for redevelopment.
For anyone who used to play badminton in the old hall, the practical change is simple: your weekly games and lessons move to another hall until the new centre opens.
Sport Singapore’s plans for the Regional Sport Centre include badminton courts, indoor sport halls, an aquatic centre, sheltered tennis, futsal and netball courts, fitness studios, a gym and a football stadium. Completion is planned for 2030.
Once it opens, the new Toa Payoh Sport Centre brings badminton back to the heart of the town, alongside the other sports on the same site.
The closest ActiveSG option inside Toa Payoh is First Toa Payoh Primary School Hall at 7 Lorong 8 Toa Payoh. It has four badminton courts, open on Saturdays from 3pm to 9pm and on Sundays from 9am to 9pm, booked through ActiveSG.
School halls like this one suit weekend players. For weekday sessions, the full-time sport halls in neighbouring towns give you more choice.
Sport Singapore pointed Toa Payoh users to Bishan and Jalan Besar Sport Centres during the closure. Bishan Sport Centre is in neighbouring Bishan at 5 Bishan Street 14, and its Google Maps listing shows daily hours from 7am to 10pm.
Jalan Besar Sport Centre is the second option Sport Singapore named. Both are full-time ActiveSG halls, so you can book weekday and weekend slots through the same platform.
Community clubs run their own courts, booked through the OnePA portal 15 days in advance, with the window moving forward at 10pm each evening. Search for Toa Payoh on OnePA to see which nearby clubs list badminton and which slots are open.
Each community club sets its own rates, so compare a few before you settle on a regular slot.
ActiveSG peak-hour slots go to a ballot 14 days ahead, and off-peak slots open 12 days ahead at 12 noon, as explained on Ask.gov. Weekend slots at school halls fall in peak hours, so enter the ballot early if you want a regular Saturday or Sunday game.
Our guide to badminton court booking covers the booking windows, rates and peak hours in more detail.
