Sports Wing Set To Be Upgraded

In KPGCC’s quest to continuously upgrade the
facilities and services for members, the club will
embark on an extensive renovation of the
Sports Wing.

The upgrading exercise is currently in its
tender stage and is expected to commence in
January 2022.

“KPGCC is always looking to improve our
facilities and this renovation of our Sports Wing
is timely as we upgraded our golf facilities a few
years back,” said KPGCC Assistant General
Manager Sheren Yong.

The exercise will see the upgrading of all
areas in the Sports Wing. The blueprint includes
a new registration counter and office, as well as
a new lobby façade and entrance.

Both the male and female sports changing
rooms will be renovated and upgraded, with
more bathrooms added to the male facility and
new steam rooms for both genders.

Last but not least, members will also enjoy a
new Sports Lounge with a stylish, relaxed
interior to complement the overall sports
theme.

Stay tuned and more information and
renovation updates will be disseminated soon.

so in any way, such as by using a hand or
