The
brand new 210,000 square feet lettable area entertainment
hub has over 100 retail offerings across six levels.
The project cost Jack Investments $70 Million to transform
the location into a fresh, vibrant and exciting mall
that offers an alternative experience to traditional
entertainment. Its modern façade, flanked by
dramatic glass and metal pod structures, hints at the
sophisticated use of technology indoors. A funky mall
design with ingenious play of lighting effects and technology
both within and on the exterior of the mall ensure a
truly refreshing and stimulating entertaining experience
all round.
Although there is no inline skating / roller skating
rink in the new development, SkateSports will open a
"proshop" on the 2nd floor. SkateSports Managing
Director, "Hanson" is confident that interest
in ice, roller, inline and even skateboarding equipment
will attract a good sales, "Lets face it,
most Singaporeans enjoy sports especially when they
can have fun with the family and friends whilst getting
a bit of excercise too! Most people who have
tried ice skating would also be interested in roller
skating, inline skating, or would have buzzed around
on a skate scooter before and SkateSports is a one stop
shop for all skating sports". In Kallang Leisure
Park however, SkateSports will concentrate on sales
of inline skates, skateboards, scooters, apparels and
promotion of their various learn-2-skate programmes.
"Our friend, Kenny (Ice Edge), is our neighbour
and sells ice skates so we will focus on selling anything
on wheels and setting up skating classes along the Kallang
Harbour. Families
can buy all their skates and gears from SkateSports,
attend some fun, interactive classes
then come back inside for some food at any one
of the many F&B outlets. After that, they could
even go ice skating up stairs, wow, what a great day
out!" says Hanson.
Formerly a favorite amongst bowlers, Leisure Park Kallang’s
own bowling alley, Kallang Bowl returns
with 22 brand new competition standards lanes equipped
with state-of-the-art technology to make it once more
the choice venue for both leisure and competitive bowling.
The new entertainment hub’s ice-skating
rink will offer the biggest ice-skating surface in Singapore.
Spanning 10, 500 square feet, it is constructed to match
competition standards and will also incorporate some
spectator seating in its design to cater to a wide range
of ice-skating performances, events and competitions.
Supermarket chain Shop N Save will
return with a new concept, taking up a much bigger space
than before, occupying a sizeable 21,000 square feet
in retail space, as compared to 16,000 square feet in
the past. There will also be an 8,000 square feet exciting
modernized food court with an outdoor alfresco
area to be operated by Koufu, a popular home-grown food
chain. Visitors can look forward to experiencing authentic
Singapore food culture with Koufu’s unique offering
of the Best 10 Foods of Singapore, which includes local
favourites such as chilli and black pepper crab, Bak
Kut The and Fish Head Curry at affordable prices.
Also, there will be a new concept amusement outlet to
be operated by TKA, established operator of the popular
chain of amusement centres VIRTUALAND and The

Leisure Park Kallang is located right at the heart of
the fully integrated sports, entertainmentand lifestyle
destination that the government is planning for under
the 2011 master plan. Besides being right at the fringe
of the city, it is also within the Sports Hub area,
next to the National Indoor Stadium. It is easily accessible
via East Coast Parkway and the new Kallang Paya Lebar
Expressway. Those who travel by public transport will
be well served by a comprehensive network of buses and
the MRT. The newly completed Stadium Boulevard
MRT station, scheduled to open by 2010, is
right in front of Leisure Park Kallang. In the meantime,
the mall will operate interim shuttle buses to Leisure
Park Kallang regularly during the operational hours
of the mall.
