This is among developments that the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) showcased recently at an ongoing travelling exhibition for its upcoming Recreation Master Plan.
The exhibition, which made a stop at Canberra Plaza from July 6 to 14, also outlined other development possibilities under consideration.
These include an upcoming integrated development near Woodlands North MRT station that may incorporate the administrative building of the former Royal Malayan Naval Base, which URA has said will be kept.
The exhibition is part of efforts by the URA to invite the public to give feedback for the recreation masterplan, which will be incorporated into the Draft Master Plan to be launched in 2025.
URA and Sport Singapore told The Straits Times that government agencies are studying plans to improve facilities at the Yishun Sport Centre, and that public feedback submitted at the exhibition will be considered in the planning process.
Opened in 1992, the sport centre in Yishun Avenue 1 comprises an indoor sports hall, a gym, and a stadium with a running track and field.
Also part of the centre is Yishun Swimming Complex in Yishun Avenue 3, located about 1.3km from the stadium.
According to the URA Master Plan, there is scope for the centre to be expanded at the Yishun Avenue 1 site – the existing facilities including the stadium and sports hall occupy only about a third of the 5.8ha site that is zoned for sports and recreational use.
