Extent of Use of School Fields under Dual-Use Scheme

Ms Mariam Jaafar asked the Minister for Culture, Community and Youth (a) what is the mean and median utilisation rate of school fields under the Dual-Use Scheme run by ActiveSG; (b) which school fields have the lowest utilisation rates; and (c) what are the reasons for the low utilisation rates.

Mr Edwin Tong Chun Fai: Under the Dual-Use Scheme (DUS), there are free-to-play school fields and bookable school fields. No booking is required for free-to-play school fields, that is, members of public can access the facility spontaneously and at no cost. All bookable school fields under the DUS were almost fully utilised in 2023.
