Jurong Green Community Club is the home CC for the Jurong Central division, and is part of Jurong GRC. It had its humble beginnings in 1996 as the Hong Kah East Community Club (CC) at 6 Jurong West Avenue 1. The CC has served many residents residing in Jurong Central Constituency for the past 16 years. However with the growth in population in the constituency, the 2,777 square metres CC faces space limitation for grassroots organisations (GROs) who want to organise more programmes to cater to the needs of residents. The newly upgraded CC, with a gross floor area of 5,381 square metres, will create a barrier-free and user-friendly building for the convenience of all residents, including the elderly and disabled. With the new facilities, the CC hopes to attract the youth to participate in its activities and facilitate intergenerational bonding. The upgraded facilities such as the roof terrace, dance studios, seminar rooms, activity rooms, visitors lounge, sheltered basketball court, gym and karaoke lounge will enable the CC to organise new activities for the residents to interact, get to know one another better, become friends and build strong bonds. The newly upgraded CC will excite every Jurong Central resident and create a youthful, vibrant and conducive environment for people to come together to take ownership of and contribute to the community. Families can also look forward to patronising the commercial tenants within the new CC, which includes a café, two fast food restaurants, two enrichment centres and an art school. The user-friendly features will also certainly be a welcome addition for the elderly and handicap that will have enhanced accessibility to enjoy the CC’s amenities.
