原本每年1月1日进行的“乔治市步行”，并成功吸引超过万人参与。惟面对新冠肺炎疫情笼罩，2021年1月1日的“乔治市步行”活动将以新常态模式进行。槟岛市政厅议决当天免费开放罗弄古力槟岛市政厅体育馆让民众跑步，同时开放旗下的民众会堂让民众打羽球或打乒乓球。开放时间从清晨6时30分至午夜，仅限1月1日这一天。
多谢朋友的告知市政局体育馆开放，这样好的机会当然不能错过这个时候进去跑步，真希望能像Batu Kawan Stadium那样长期开放给公众进去运动。有年去了台湾桃园市立体育馆跑步，就希望槟城市立体育馆也能这样开放（参考游记：乌来旅跑 - 桃园/台北 - 晨跑桃园巨蛋，乌来旅跑 - 桃园 - 虎头山、市立体育馆晨跑）
印象中这个体育馆来过两次，一次是小学时候的运动会，还有一次是参加会馆的醒狮团而在外面排队进场表演，都是小学时候的故事了
Construction of the City Stadium commenced on 1 October 1945, just after the end of the Second World War. Upon completion in 1948, it was officially named the Penang Island National Stadium. The stadium was expanded by the British government in 1950 and underwent further renovation in 1953.
The Penang Island National Stadium was eventually renamed the City Stadium in 2003. Another round of renovation works was conducted in the 2000s.However, as George Town had already been densely developed, under the confined urban constraints the City Stadium could not be expanded further.
The Penang FA had briefly moved to the Penang State Stadium in Batu Kawan on the mainland due to capacity concerns, but in 2011, the state football team then returned to the City Stadium.
The Penang FA has been playing major football matches at the City Stadium ever since.At present, the stadium can accommodate about 25,000 people, although its main gate has been reduced in size.
The City Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in George Town, Penang, Malaysia, and serves as the home stadium of the Penang state football team, Penang FA. The oldest built stadium still in use in Malaysia, it was built in 1932 by the British government.
The stadium has a capacity of approximately 25,000 people and is now mainly used for football matches involving Penang FA, such as the Malaysian Super League.It is also well-known for the vociferous home support, dubbed the "Keramat Roar".
The stadium was the site where Mohd Faiz Subri, a Penang FA player, scored a physics-defying free kick goal during a Malaysian Super League match in 2016.He was awarded the prestigious FIFA Puskás Award the following year for this particular effort.
在2018年9月的亚太区大师运动会（APMG）开跑之前，槟岛市政厅为迎接是项具奥林匹克水平的国际大赛，斥资逾1190万令吉为槟岛市政厅体育馆增建5618个观众席，修建遭水灾淹坏的跑道。体育馆对上一次的提升工程，是在2005年距今2018年已有12年之久。当年也是在槟足协要求下扩建看台、增多5618个观众席。
槟岛市政厅体育馆外墙添上6幅槟城足球名将壁画，迎接2021年1月1日“城市日”庆典！漫画家莫哈末阿兹米（36岁）受槟岛市政厅邀请，在市政厅体育馆外墙，绘上来自槟城的6位已故与现役足球名将，向他们致敬。
6名槟城足球名将分别是曾征战1972年德国慕尼黑奥林匹克运动会足球赛的已故拿督纳阿都拉（Namat Abdullah）、代表国家取得1980年莫斯科奥运会参赛权的拿督舒科沙列(Shukor Salleh）、国家队前球员兼前教练拿督古班（M. Kuppan），国家队前球员彭祥福和已故阿里峇卡（Ali Bakar），以及在2016年夺得国际足联（FIFA）颁奖礼赢得普斯卡什（年度最佳进球）奖莫哈末法伊兹（Mohd Faiz）。
