Renovation Plans for Futsal Court and other Facilities at Petal Gardens in Eunos Ward of Aljunied GRC

Mr Pritam Singh asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth in view of the state of the sports and community facilities at Petal Gardens in the Eunos ward of Aljunied GRC (a) when does the People's Association (PA) plan to renovate and modernise the futsal court and other facilities there; and (b) whether the Ministry will consider returning this area to the Town Council for management for community use as it was prior to the year 2011.

The People's Association (PA) currently leases the community site at Petal Gardens from the Housing and Development Board to run regular community activities for residents at this site.

PA maintains and upkeeps these facilities at Petal Gardens, ensuring they remain accessible and in good condition for residents' use. A tender for the cyclical maintenance and improvement of the facilities at Petal Gardens, including the futsal court, was published on 16 December 2024. It is intended to complete the works by Q1 2026.

The current arrangement has been effective, with Petal Gardens and other community sites under PA's management being well-utilised for regular activities for residents. PA will continue to ensure that the facilities at Petal Gardens are well-maintained and that community activities are available and accessible to all Eunos residents.
