Kallang & Whampoa Estate
The area is most well known for being the location of the Singapore Indoor Stadium,
the old National Stadium, and the upcoming Singapore Sports Hub that is slated to
open in the year 2010. Singapore’s first airport was opened in the area in
1937 but replaced at another location due to increased air traffic demand. The airport
terminal building is now occupied by the People’s Association’s headquarters.
Kallang River, Singapore’s longest river, meanders through the area, and in
turn gives selected flats picturesque waterfront views. The river is also a popular
location for water sports. There is a wide variety of amenities here including food
outlets, places of worship, schools and other neighbourhood shops serving the local
community. Of note, the newly re-opened Leisure Park Kallang houses a large number
of entertainment choices all under one roof. These include Singapore’s largest
ice-skating rink, a bowling centre and a Cineplex, among others.
In addition to the existing Kallang MRT station and Boon Keng MRT station, the new
Stadium MRT Station is due to open in the area in 2010.
