In 1932, the Association obtained from the Government, on a Temporary Occupation License, a playing field at Whampoa. This later came to be known as “Ground off St. Georges Road”. Later in 1962, it came to be known, as 601 Jalan Bahagia when a brick pavilion was put up at the ground. In the mid-sixties, the Government requisitioned the land at Jalan Bahagia. Left without premises SKA acquired another piece of land, this time at the corner of Balestier Road and Tessensohn Road and since January 8 1969, SKA has proudly stood there, a testament to the grit and determination of a few Sikh schoolboys who managed to mobilize Singapore Sikhs. Today, SKA, a 5-storey complex, houses a club house, an air-conditioned marriage hall cum reception area, a bar and restaurant, a gymnasium and a jackpot room. SKA provides its members of all races and their families a large range of services, indoor and outdoor, for a variety of functions. It has become a popular venue for numerous wedding celebrations and receptions for the various communities in Singapore, besides the Sikh community. The complex has been renovated over the years to remain relevant and meet the needs of its members.
