Toa Payoh Sport Centre
Toa Payoh Sport Centre, located at 301 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, Singapore 319392, is currently closed for redevelopment until approximately 2030. ActiveSG The closure supports the creation of a new regional sport centre integrated with a polyclinic, library, and town park under the Toa Payoh Integrated Development (TPID).
Historic Role & Community Significance
Before closure, Toa Payoh Sport Centre was a central hub for recreation and competitive sport. Its halls and swimming complex hosted Singapore’s youth sports events, including activities in the 2009 Asian Youth Games and 2010 Youth Olympics. The existing Toa Payoh Sports Hall previously supported table tennis, volleyball, and netball matches and accommodated up to 2,000 spectators. Nearby, Toa Payoh Stadium, with seating for about 3,800, was also part of the sport precinct until its demolition in 2024 as part of redevelopment works.
Redevelopment Plans & Promised Enhancements
The new facility is envisioned to hold 22 badminton courts within a 5,000-seater indoor hall, alongside indoor sports halls for team sports, a full gymnasium, sheltered outdoor courts (e.g. futsal, netball, tennis), and a modern aquatic centre. The Straits Times This vision is anchored in SportSG’s mission to bring high-quality sporting infrastructure closer to communities.
The TPID consolidation ensures that sport, health, and community amenities will reside under one roof—transforming how badminton trainees will experience training in Toa Payoh upon reopening.
Implications for Badminton Training During Closure
Because the centre is offline, all badminton coaching and lessons that were held there have had to move to alternate venues such as Bishan or Jalan Besar centres. The transitional plan by SportSG aims to minimise disruption for coaches, students, and community users during redevelopment. Sport Singapore
When reopened, the upgraded Toa Payoh Sport Centre is expected to offer amplified capacity, better facility standards, and more modern performance spaces for coaching, competitive training, and community play.
Strengths & Opportunities Post-Rebuild
Large hall capacity: 22 badminton courts allows scaling of lessons, tournaments, and multi-class usage.
Integrated support facilities: Gym, swimming, and other courts will allow holistic training—including cross-conditioning and recovery—within the same site.
Community synergy: The TPID plans enhance convenience for learners and families by co-locating healthcare, library, and recreation under one precinct.
Modern standards: New lighting, flooring, spectator seating, and facility layout will elevate the training environment for all levels.
Practical Notes for Coaches & Students
Toa Payoh’s closure until 2030 means planning ahead is critical. Coaches should coordinate venue allocations, maintain communication with students, and frequently check closure updates on the ActiveSG site. Once reopening nears, early site familiarization will help adjust to navigation changes, court layouts, and facility sequences.
Conclusion: Awaiting a Reinvented Hub
Toa Payoh Sport Centre may be under renovation now, but its upcoming transformation promises to set a new standard in Singapore’s sport facility infrastructure. For badminton programs, the new design with expanded courts and integrated amenities will offer enriched coaching and training opportunities.
