The 2015 ASEAN Para Games used a mix of new, existing and temporary venues. Given the city-state's compact size, most venues were pre-existing public-sporting facilities located in the suburban heartlands which will revert to public use after the games. No major retrofitting work were done in most venues as most had been used to host major multi-disciplinary events such as the 2010 Youth Olympic Games and the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. At the centrepiece of the activities was the Singapore Sports Hub which was completed in mid-2014 and was used to host the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. Incorporating the new 55,000-seat national stadium, it hosted most of the events. A games village was not built as in the 2015 Southeast Asian Games. Instead, a "village in the city" concept saw athletes and officials housed in Marina Bay Sands Hotel downtown Singapore which was chosen to be the official games village because of its ability to cater to people with special needs. The hotel reaffirmed its commitment to its corporate social responsibility programmes, and is looking to raise awareness among the public about para-sports. Besides being physically near to the Singapore Sports Hub and offering about 1500 rooms for usage, it was hoped that it will add vibe to the city and reduce post-games costs in converting a dedicated games village to other uses.https://www.sportsingapore.gov.sg/newsroom/media-releases/2014/8/8th-asean-para-games-organising-committee-announces-the-list-of-sports-and-official-games-village 8TH ASEAN Para Games Organising Committee Announces The List Of Sports And Official Games Village 29 August 2014 18 August 2015 8 December 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20151208115105/https://www.sportsingapore.gov.sg/newsroom/media-releases/2014/8/8th-asean-para-games-organising-committee-announces-the-list-of-sports-and-official-games-village deadhttp://www.aseanparagames2015.com/news/news-articles/2014/9/15-sports-confirmed-for-2015-asean-para-games 15 sports confirmed for 2015 APG 1 September 2014 4 August 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150626114524/http://www.aseanparagames2015.com/news/news-articles/2014/9/15-sports-confirmed-for-2015-asean-para-games 26 June 2015 dead dmy-all The 8th ASEAN Para Games had 14 venues for the games.https://www.aseanparagames2015.com/the-games/venues List of venues 8th ASEAN Para Games 2015 3 December 2015 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20151208074559/https://www.aseanparagames2015.com/the-games/venues 8 December 2015 Nation Competition Venue SportsSingaporeSingapore Sports Hub Singapore National Stadium Athletics, Football 7-a-side Singapore Indoor Stadium Wheelchair basketball, Opening ceremony OCBC Arena Hall 1 Table tennis OCBC Arena Hall 2 Badminton OCBC Arena Hall 3 Boccia OCBC Arena Hall 4 Chess OCBC Aquatics Centre SwimmingMarina Bay Sands Marina Bay Sands Hall B Football 5-a-side, Powerlifting Marina Bay Sands Hall D Goalball Marina Bay Sands Ballroom Closing ceremonyOther Marina Bay Sailing SAFRA Yishun Shooting Temasek Club Bowling Kallang Cricket Field Archery Public transport Given the existing extensive public transport network already in place, there is no games-specific major infrastructural development to support it.
