Kampong Bugis is probably best known for being the location of the former Kallang Gasworks, the conserved Kallang Airport complex, as well as the former Gay World Amusement Park. A plot of land bounded by Kallang Road, the Kallang River and Rochor River is slated for future residential development, part of a pilot programme to create a car-lite riverside community. Other notable places in Kampong Bugis include Kallang Riverside Park, Merdeka Bridge and Lorong 1 Geylang Bus Terminal.
