Located about six kilometers from the centre of
the City, The Club stands as a prominent landmark
at the junction of Balestier and Moulmein Roads,
commanding a panoramic view of one of the most picturesque
playing fields in Singapore. A Management Committee

together with an Immediate Past President and Advisors.

to promote sports & camaraderie among residents
in Singapore. Originally known as the Lanka Union

11 June 1928 as the Ceylon Sports Club. It has since,
evolved into a premier Family and Sports Club in
the Island.
