[133] The terminal building was subsequently converted into the People's Association (PA) headquarters on 1 July 1960. [130], Kallang played a significant role in Singapore's aviation history, being the location of the country's first aircraft landing and home to its first purpose-built civil airport, the Kallang Airport. They consisted of about 100 families. [6] As such, Kallang played a pivotal role in Singapore's aviation and sporting histories. Expunged roads that had the name "Kallang" included Kallang Close and Kallang Square.[115]. The opening and closing ceremonies of the 2015 Southeast Asian Games were held at the new National Stadium. It links the 4 major parks in eastern Singapore, which are East Coast Park, Pasir Ris Park, Changi Beach Park and Bedok Reservoir Park through 7 park connectors, such as the Siglap Park Connector and the Tampines Park Connector. The modern-day "Kallang" is in use since 1842,[7] even though the alternative spelling "Kalang" is also utilised in some instances. Most of the new pedestrian facilities are part of a system of what are called âpark connectors,â built largely along the many partly artificial waterways that drain the island (Singapore gets more than 2300 mm of rain a year). The Kallang River is the main waterway that meanders through Kallang. This proposed plan is known as "Old Airport Square", as envisioned by the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) Master Plan 2008. This is the biggest and longest loop in Singapore. In 1977, the Singapore government embarked on a ten-year-long clean-up project for the Kallang Basin and the nearby Singapore River, transforming them into the clean waterways of today. [93][94] As their names imply, these park connectors aim to form a continuous loop which will eventually connect all the major parks within Singapore. The rental price of a median 4-room HDB unit in Kallang/Whampoa is S$2500, compared to the national average of S$2120.[111]. The capsule was never found despite more than three years of search. It was based at 1370 Serangoon Road, in Bendemeer subzone. [64] The conserved Kallang Airport complex is currently unoccupied and restricted from public access. The upcoming North–South Corridor (NSC) will enhance connectivity between Kallang, Toa Payoh, Bishan, Ang Mo Kio, Yishun and Woodlands. The adjacent Kallang Tennis Centre, which is a frequent training ground for the Singapore national tennis team, hosted the tennis games. 1. It is part of the Lornie Road park connector which links up MacRitchie Reservoir Park to Adam Road and forms part of the Coast-to-Coast trail. Shipbuilding companies were found around present-day Upper Boon Keng Road and Jalan Benaan Kapal (literally "Ship Construction Road" in Malay). Aside from serving the areas that it is located in, East Coast Park also serves various nearby communities like Kallang. Points of interest along Kallang Park Connector include Kallang River @ Bishan–Ang Mo Kio Park, as well as the Kolam Ayer ABC Waterfront. Kallang Planning Area is bounded by Toa Payoh in the north, Geylang in the east, Marine Parade in the southeast, Marina East in the south, the Downtown Core in the southwest, Rochor and Newton in the west, as well as Novena in the northwest.[4]. By 1838, the place name was spelled as "Kelang". This park connector also meets Whampoa Park Connector from Bendemeer Road, providing easy accessibility to Toa Payoh Town Park. This route is based on data from OpenStreetMap, a world map that you can edit.This route may be incomplete, feel free to improve it! Other than retail outlets, Leisure Park Kallang also has a cinema, an ice skating rink and a bowling alley. However, in 1847, most of them died of a smallpox epidemic. Start from Toa Payoh Town Park, and ride through the Whampoa and Kallang Park connectors. It is a unique landmark along Kallang riverside, at Upper Boon Keng Road. A pair of stone lions called the "Merdeka Lions" once stood at each end of the bridge from 1956 to 1966. In addition, the nearby Singapore Sports Hub also has a dedicated Water Sports Centre that provides similar services. The Lornie Nature Corridor is also part of the Coast-to-Coast trail which connects MacRitchie and Adam Road. Pro tip: Be careful with the beach here because while it looks quite clean, there are often pieces of concrete, broken tiles and even lost fishing hooks or pieces of glass hidden in the sand.. Continue walking towards the Promontory along the path which follows the sea. Today, the shopping mall at the Singapore Sports Hub is named "Kallang Wave Mall". These lion statues are now standing at the SAFTI Military Institute. While we have many park connectors in the country, this one might just offer the best view. By 1848, the orang biduanda kallang were virtually extinct.[8]. In 1824, the Temenggung resettled the orang biduanda kallang to the Pulai River in Johor, Malaysia. Rail transport in Kallang exists as the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Its operations were subsequently relocated to Brani Regional Base on Pulau Brani as a result of the planned damming of the Kallang Basin and Marina Bay to create the Marina Reservoir.[106]. Constructed in 1995, it is the first park connector of its kind to be built and forms part of the Central Urban Loop. [59], The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has identified numerous areas in Singapore as "conservation areas", a few of which can be found in Kallang. Both are direct transliterations of the English/Malay name. The congregation of the Thai community at Golden Mile Complex also gives it the nickname "Little Thailand". [31], In June 1932, another land reclamation project began at Beach Road. Car-free residential area will be piloted in the subzone of Kampong Bugis, at the mouth of Kallang River. Other constituencies that historically covered various parts of Kallang included the now-defunct Geylang West SMC, Jalan Besar SMC and Kolam Ayer SMC. [87][88][89], Managed by the People's Association (PA), each "community club" or "community centre" (CC) serves around 15,000 households.[90]. East Coast Park is a coastal park that straddles the southeastern coast of Singapore, extending from Marine Parade to Tampines. As a result of Kallang's prime location just outside the Central Area, the urban planning strategy and land use policy therefore differ from towns that are established primarily for residential use (e.g. [50], There is a dispute pertaining to the exact location where the founder of modern Singapore, Sir Stamford Raffles, first landed on mainland Singapore in 1819. [33][34], Today, some of their legacies are still seen – roads such as Padang Jeringau and Kampong Bugis that branch out from Kallang Road directly reference these expunged villages.[35]. Throughout its history, Kallang was home to several national landmarks, some of which were built along the banks of the Kallang Basin, including the old National Stadium as well as the country's first purpose-built civil airport, the Kallang Airport. New residential blocks which are around 30-storeys high are now prominent in the skyline of the area, with more being planned to be built under the new HDB construction policy. Kallang is the main constituent unit of the Kallang/Whampoa New Town as defined by the Housing and Development Board (HDB). The old National Stadium played host to numerous cultural, sporting and national events, including the National Day Parade (NDP) for a total of 18 times. The high rent in the Central Area also makes Kallang an attractive location for offices, particularly office spaces along Kallang Avenue, Lavender Street and Beach Road. Located within the subzone of Kampong Java, at the junction of Bukit Timah Road and Cavenagh Road, was the Kampong Java Park. A lot of people actually commute to work on bikes along the connector. The conserved Kallang Airport building was one of the hosting venues of the 2011 Singapore Biennale. Itâs pretty clear that, unlike the park connectors in Punggol and Sengkang, this park connector attracts numerous commuters and ⦠The organisation occupied the building until 6 April 2009 when it moved to its current location at King George's Avenue, also in Kallang. [97][98] Plans to further rejuvenate the Kallang riverside, including the construction of bridges and underpasses to facilitate seamless connection across major traffic junctions, have been proposed. They adds another hike option for those who are exploring the MacRitchie trails. Today, the complex is fenced off from public access.[64][65]. Kallang/Whampoa is the fourth most expensive HDB new town in terms of rental prices. The 185-hectare (460-acre) East Coast Park is the largest park in Singapore, and is built entirely on reclaimed land with a man-made beach, where swimming is possible.The beach is protected by breakwaters.. The swamps and mudflats were filled in using earth sourced from the leveled hills of Toa Payoh. The area bounded by Sungei Whampoa, Serangoon Road, Balestier Road and the Central Expressway (CTE) formed part of Whampoa Single Member Constituency (SMC). Aside from public housing (flats) built by HDB, condominiums that provide high-end living options can be found primarily in Tanjong Rhu, an affluent neighbourhood in southern Kallang. The Singapore Sports Hub is the only "Tier 1" facility under the Sports Facilities Master Plan. The collapse killed four people. Lornie Nature Corridor is a 1.76 km long park connector which stretches along Lornie Road, by the fringe of the Central Catchment Area. The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) has proposed to transform Kallang into a lifestyle and commercial hub, with the Kallang River and Singapore Sports Hub as the centrepieces of the town. This is a list of parks in Singapore that are currently existing and have articles on Wikipedia. [104] In August 2018, the Kampong Java Park was permanently closed to facilitate the construction of the North–South Corridor (NSC).[105]. Hailed as the "finest airport in the British Empire", it was also praised by renowned aviator Amelia Earhart as "an aviation miracle of the East". [31], Historically, Kallang was home to some of Singapore's earliest settlers. Some housing blocks are planned to be reconstructed under the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) to redevelop Kallang where the demographics are dominated by the middle-aged. Several F1-related developments, such as a grandstand and first aid facilities, are also situated in Kallang.[150]. The long-awaited Lornie Road park connector - stretching about 2km from MacRitchie Reservoir carpark to the fringe of Kheam Hock Park - will be completed in ⦠Between 1959 and 1991, Kallang mostly came under Kallang SMC. Soil treatment work at the former Kallang Gasworks site began in November 2018 and is expected to conclude in July 2022.[114]. On 20 April 2004, a section of the Circle Line tunnel collapsed during construction. The 1973, 1983 and 1993 Southeast Asian Games used the old National Stadium as its ceremony venue. The polyclinic will be housed in a 10-storey facility and integrated with a chronic sick unit, the first of such integrated healthcare building in Singapore. Aside from the eponymous Kallang, the Kallang Formation is also found in other parts of Singapore, particularly at river valleys, as well as around river mouths and coastal regions. The new connector, which runs parallel to Airport Boulevard, starts at Terminal 2 and ends at East Coast Park. This has left Lornie Road, once a busy throughway, with relatively less traffic. The present landscape of Kallang is the result of extensive land reclamation carried out over multiple phases. [69], The main factory building of the former National Aerated Water Company along Serangoon Road has also been gazetted for conservation, and will be integrated into a future residential development. Cyclists, skaters and dog walkers also use them.
