New 3km walking trail launched at Kallang brings back memories for our parents

The Singapore Sports Hub launched a new heritage trail on Sunday (May 12), bringing back several heritage markers and artworks, in hopes to preserve and invoke some good memories, especially for those of us who had been to Kallang in the yesteryear.

This new 3km educational walking trail revolves around Singapore Sports Hub and is split into 3 parts – Waterfront, Stadium and Park trail.

What to look out for…
Merdeka Lions

We have heard alot about the Merdeka generation recently. The Merdeka Lions are iconic stone lion statues that guarded the two ends of Merdeka Bridge in 1960. However, the original statue has since been shifted to SAFTI Military Institute. What you will see at this trail are replicas.

14 Uniquely Designed Re-purposed Benches

These timber benches were re-purposed from the former National Stadium and these specially designed installations bring vibrancy to the trail.

Time to put on your jogging shoes and share some quality time with your parents at this brand new heritage trail!
