ICE RINK AT PANDAN GARDENS: New Ice Rink Coming Soon (End Of 2026)
Exciting News for Families and Future Skaters in SingaporeSingapore parents and kids, get ready to lace up those skates! After the closure of JCube's Olympic-sized rink in 2023 left a gap for serious training and fun family outings, a brand-new facility is on the way. The former Pandan Gardens Swimming Complex site at 200 Pandan Gardens has been identified as the prime spot for this development, backed by the Singapore Ice Hockey Association (SIHA) and Singapore Ice Skating Association (SISA).
The upcoming rink will feature two ice surfaces: a full Olympic-sized rink for competitions and training, plus a smaller one (about one-third the size) perfect for beginners, lessons, and casual family sessions. This means more accessible ice time for little ones learning to glide, birthday parties on ice, or weekend family fun—away from the heat!
While details on public access, pricing, kids' programs, or family amenities like changing facilities are still emerging, this new spot promises to bring winter magic back to tropical Singapore. It's a game-changer for aspiring athletes who had to train overseas and for families craving a cool, active adventure.
