This multi-functional sports and leisure venue is located next to the Thanggam LRT station in Sengkang. It is operated by private operator The Sports Arina (TSA) and is called “TSA@Jalan Kayu”. Currently under construction, some facilities are expected to be opened to residents in three months and fully operational in the second half of the year.
The venue held a media preview event on Monday (January 19). The guest of honor, Jalan Kayu District Councilor Huang Zhiming, said in his speech that this sports venue will not only provide residents in Fernvale and Jalan Kayu with diverse and complete sports facilities, but also fully consider noise control during the design and construction process, striving to minimize the impact on residents’ lives.
“This is more than just a sports venue, but more importantly, a space for residents to come together, stay active and connect. By bringing high-quality facilities into the community, I hope to create opportunities for families, youth and seniors to usher in healthier lifestyles and build closer connections,” said Wong Chi-Ming.
There is a pickleball court in the venue with additional sound insulation and noise reduction functions.
Recently, playing pickleball outdoors has caused controversy due to the loud noise. There will be nine to ten pickleball courts in the TSA@Jalan Kayu stadium. Not only will the floor material and scale meet competition-level standards, the venue will also be soundproofed and noise-reduced to reduce the impact of noise on nearby residents.
