Hong Lim Park

Beautiful little park next to Clarke Quay MRT 🌳 great place to watch the sunset 🌅 …

It's not just Speakers' Corner and hosting Pink Dot events, the old ground has a lot of history which many Singaporean and me don't know or forgotten!! It was used to be Police Court, and the Central Police Station, even before Hill Street Station. Later was a Post Office. A Chinese Cricket Club Recreation Clubhouse was also there. 👀😲😜🙏🇸🇬

Beautifully maintained open area garden park that showcases both the courtesy and care of the residents and the workers responsible for maintenance. It has an open air stage, a walking circuit, a few bench seats around the perimeter, bins for any rubbish and a Speakers Corner for public gatherings. The Park Royal hotel and its beautiful garden platforms overlook it. It has security cameras and it's quite well lit at night. It also adjoins an entrance to the MRT (Rail/train) system. It is quite a beautiful park to sit and relax in, catch up with friends, exercise, play ball sports (albeit no court). This green space was my go to on down time from touring. Much better than time spent in a hotel room!

A rather small park, away from the noisy and crowded Chinatown. Great for some quiet moments.
