With a seating capacity of 2,000 spectators the Toa Payoh Sports Hall has hosted a wide range of sport events.

In 2007, the venue also hosted the Five Nations Netball Tournament involving Singapore, Canada, Sri Lanka, Trinidad and Tobago and Northern Ireland.

Toa Payoh Sports Hall is being upgraded and converted to host the Youth Olympic Games’ weighlifting and volleyball competitions for the first time.
