We’ve been running through the parks, holing up in the third-wave coffee shops and eating at the hip restaurants of Kallang for years now. But with Sports Hub now officially open and a few developments (including an MRT station!) coming soon, we decided it was time to look at the neighborhood with fresh eyes.

And you know what? There’s lots more to it than Loysel’s Toy, Golden Mile and dragonboats on the river (though you will find all three in these pages). Use this handy guide to discover Kallang’s diverse gems, from rock climbing gyms and lawn bowling fields to theaters and ukulele shops. Ok, and restaurants and third-wave coffee shops, too.
