Hougang is a planning area and residential town located in the northeast of Singapore. The town is the most populous in the northeast region, with 247,528 residents as of 2018. Hougang is connected to Shenggang in the north, to Geylang and Shilonggang in the south, Belo to the southeast, Daba Kiln to the southwest, Bayeri to the east, Hongmao Bridge to the west, and Bishan to the southwest. The planning scope of Hougang is divided into ten partitions. Subdivisions are: Hougang East, Defu Industrial Zone, Dacheng, Luonong Harus, Port Foot, Hougang West, Luonong Wanguo/Wanguoqing, Luonong Asu, Gaowen and Hougang Center. The name Hougang is derived from Fujian dialect and Chaozhou dialect. Hougang was once a woodland and pig farm. In 1979, the Housing Development Bureau announced that it would create a new town in Hougang. In 1980, due to the promotion of the Chinese-speaking movement by the Singapore authorities, many new towns were changed to Chinese pinyin names, and the English name in Hougang was changed from Hou Kang to Hougang. In the 1990s, pig farms were gradually dismantled. Most of the early Chaozhou people settled in Shilonggang 5th to 7th half stone, that is, the early back port or today is called Gao Wen. From 7th half stone outside the scope of a port, that is, the local people called the port foot (Chaozhou dialect: Kang-kar). After the 1980s, due to the rapid development of the new town, the southern part of Punggol also became the current center and new town of Hougang. The southern part of Punggol Road also became the 8 roads of Hougang, connected to Punggol Road (to Punggol tail beach). Most of the local Chaozhou residents also have excellent Catholic faith. They have set up the oldest and most prominent church in the region, the Virgin Christmas Church (Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary)), built in the 1960s. Most schools are also set up by local teachers and residents.

Convenient and clean. Not too crowded, especially on weekdays. An enjoyable swimming experience. Will visit regularly
Its a great place to workout..jog..run or simply relaxing at the seats…no much of a crowd so you can have all the space for your activities.
Well maintained running track. A mini fitness corner. Do check the schedule before making plans to use the stadium, as there might be soccer games and schools' sports meet which would restrict public access.
this is a very good place for workout. it is where my school usually holds its sports day, it brings back memories to us!
it's a great place but you will have to do some exercise while you are at it
