Sengkang Sports and Recreation Centre (Chinese: 盛港体育休闲中心; pinyin: Shènggǎng tǐyù xiūxián zhōngxīn; Tamil: Sengkang விளையாட்டு மற்றும் பொழுதுபோக்கு மையம்), formerly known as Sengkang Sports Complex, is a sports complex in Anchorvale of Sengkang New Town, Singapore. It was scheduled to open in end 2007, but its inauguration was delayed until mid-late 2008.
Sengkang Sports and Recreation Centre was built as part of a plan to improve amenities in Pasir Ris-Punggol Group Representation Constituency and Sengkang New Town, costing S$1 billion. The People's Association and Singapore Sports Council were involved in the planning of the sports complex, and went ahead with the project despite Singapore's economic recession in the early 2000s. Fund raising campaigns were initiated by grassroots leaders to support the construction of the complex.
Although the sports complex was originally planned to be ready by 2004, construction began only in 2006. On 2 April 2006, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Sengkang Sports and Recreation Centre was held, attended by Member of Parliament for Ang Mo Kio Group Representation Constituency Wee Siew Kim. The S$48.7 million complex was designed by architectural firm LT & T Architects, and was completed by the end of 2007.
