The stadium houses the only eight-lane track in the east operated by SportSG.
SINGAPORE – The authorities are studying the potential redevelopment of Bedok Stadium, the only stadium in the east operated by national sports agency Sport Singapore .for the Urban Redevelopment Authority’s upcoming recreation masterplan, URA said “plans are being studied to redevelop and refresh Bedok Stadium for easties to get active with even more diverse community and sport offerings”.
Heartbeat@Bedok houses several facilities run by SportSG, such as a gym, a swimming complex, a tennis centre and a sports hall for activities such as badminton. Also part of the sports complex was Bedok Swimming Complex, which was demolished after it closed in July 2017. Six new basketball courts – two sheltered and four outdoor – are slated to open on the site later in 2024.
Architectural historian Yeo Kang Shua, a Bedok resident who runs at Bedok Stadium, noted that it is the only public sports facility in the east with an eight-lane running track, making it a popular venue for schools hosting their track and field days. He said that given the lack of eight-lane tracks in the east, Bedok Stadium is one of only two training venues for him – the other being the Singapore University of Technology and Design in Upper Changi.He added that should redevelopment be pursued, a sheltered running track – like the one at the National Stadium in Kallang – would allow him to continue training on rainy days.
