Facts and practical information

The Padang or Singapore Cricket Club Ground is a cricket ground in Singapore. The Padang became a major recreational area when two clubs, the Singapore Cricket Club in 1870 and the Singapore Recreation Club in 1883 were established at both ends of the field. It was used for exercising horses in the 1920s and became the scene for the New Year sporting activities. ()
