SINGAPORE:  , A new community hub in Upper East Coast will home co-working areas, a theater and sports facilities such as a treadmill and jogging track.
The Joo Chiat Community Hub, which is located along Upper East Coast Road, may get three times as big as the 65-year-old Siglap South Community Center at Palm Road.
Minister for Culture, Community, and Youth Edwin Tong explained at a community event on Saturday ( Jan 18 ) that the plans were formulated after extensive consultation with residents so they would feel “at home” using the space. He gave a” sneak peek” of the hub’s design.
According to Mr. Tong, who is also Next Minister for Law and MP for Marine Parade GRC,” we consulted extensively, asked our people what they wanted to see in these, what they felt was pleasant for them, and what they were engaged in.”
The three main themes that kept popping up were activities, the art and “innovative spots” where people can come up to work, he added.
The Joo Chiat Constituency Office stated in a press release that one of the essential attributes is a treadmill and jogging trail with beautiful landscapes.
