The impending closure of the JCube mall, which houses Singapore’s only Olympic-size ice-skating rink, could make things challenging for the winter sports athletes, but their woes could be resolved if plans for a purpose-built facility materialises.
It was announced on Tuesday that the mall in Jurong East will close down on Aug 6 to make way for a 40-storey residential development that will include commercial space on the first and second storeys.
The Rink at JCube is a training venue for national athletes from the Singapore Ice Skating Association Sisa) and the Singapore Ice Hockey Association Siha). The only other ice rink, which is smaller, is at Leisure Park Kallang.
In a statement, Sisa said it has been in discussions with national agency Sport Singapore about a new training and competitions facility.
