SINGAPORE: More than 80,000 people have visited the
new ice rink at shopping mall JCube in Jurong East since its soft
launch in April.
The Olympic-sized rink is the first sports facility
developed under the Community/Sports Facilities Scheme, which hopes
to encourage the integration of community or sports facilities in
private commercial developments.
Chairman of the Singapore Sports Council Richard
Seow said the Council is looking at increasing the variety and
accessibility of its sports facilities island wide, as part of its
new Sport Facilities Master Plan under Vision 2030.
The rink, which was officially opened on Sunday, will host a speed
skating competition and ice hockey league in the coming
months.
