The Singapore Sports Hub has announced that its second Sports Hub Community Play Day will take place on 17th September 2016, with visitors being invited to join in a wide variety of special events and activities.

The Sports Hub Community Play Day is a quarterly activity that promises a full day of play including free sports try-outs, fitness workouts, fun competitions, children’s activities and much more. It allows the public to play, discover and interact with the broad range of activities at the Hub, experience new sports, and strengthen family bonds through shared sports experiences.

This second event will feature a bid to achieve the most number of participants in the Experience Sports Zumba Record-Breaking event as well as a million steps taken in the Sports Hub Community Fun Stepper.

Sngapore Minister for Social and Family Development Tan Chuan-Jin will officially kick-start the Experience Sports Zumba Record-Breaking Event.

Introducing the events, Singapore Sports Hub Chief Operating Officer Oon Jin Teik stated “the iconic Singapore Sports Hub was built not only for world class events but it was also built to bring communities together from all walks of life.

“It’s a place for families and friends to have fun while participating in fitness and sporting activities strengthen family bonds through these shared sports experiences.

“In addition to our community programming such as Experience Sports Learn-to-Play sessions and daily Fitbit FIT-Sessions, the Sports Hub Community Play Day is another opportunity for us to engage the community and let them play, discover and interact with the broad range of activities at the Hub.”

Besides the Experience Sports Zumba Record-Breaking Event and the Sports Hub Community Fun Stepper, other activities during the Sports Hub Community Play Day include the PAssion Children Football Carnival, a Family Fun Zone with inflatables, sports clinics and tryouts for speedminton, netball, frisbee, dodgeball and basketball, lifestyle flea market and kampong games.
