A 1,000 sq m gym, three times bigger than before, four new futsal courts and more indoor badminton courts are some of the changes residents can look forward to after the Delta Sport Centre officially opened on Sunday.
The facility along Tiong Bahru Road, closed for renovation in 2019, also offers a full-sized hockey pitch and three swimming pools, one of which is equipped with an accessibility ramp for seniors and persons with disabilities.
There will also be tryouts for various para-sports staged at the venue every quarter.
Mr Timothy Lim, 29, and his wife, Mrs Cheryl Lim, 27, used to visit the Delta Sport Centre when they were in secondary school for swimming lessons, but had not been back for several years.
But they are planning to make use of the gym, citing affordability and convenience as key factors. Adults who are Singapore citizens or permanent residents pay $2.50 for entry into an ActiveSG public gym.
