After more than 40 years of use, Clementi Stadium will be redeveloped along with the vacant site of the former West Coast Recreation Centre, said Minister for National Development Desmond Lee.
Set for completion by 2030, the new stadium will feature softball and baseball fields and other sports facilities, including a running track and activities for the public to learn a sport, said Mr Lee on July 6.
The stadium and the site of the former recreation centre, which is currently an empty field after the centre was demolished in 2020, sit alongside each other on a plot between West Coast Road and the Ayer Rajah Expressway.
Two other stadiums of similar vintage – Yio Chu Kang and Bedok stadiums – are also being studied for redevelopment.
Mr Lee, who is an MP for West Coast GRC where the stadium is located, also announced that the authorities are exploring building a new mixed-use development integrated with the upcoming West Coast MRT station.
The new station, which is scheduled to be open by 2032 on the site of the former Tanglin Secondary School, will be fully underground along with the rest of the line connecting Jurong to Changi via the Central Catchment Area.
