Situated at the War Memorial Park along Beach Road, this memorial commemorates civilian victims of the Japanese Occupation in Singapore, and the unity of Singapore’s four main races—Malay, Chinese, Indian and Eurasian. At this serene park, you’ll see four pillars of similar size and structure rising tall above 65 metres, symbolic of the shared suffering of Singapore’s main ethnic groups as well as those who died and were buried there.

Built in 1943, Esplanade Park is one of the oldest among Singapore’s heritage parks. Redeveloped in 1991 to enhance the Civic District's identity and to create an important frontage for the Padang, Supreme Court and City Hall, Esplanade Park is a showcase for many of Singapore’s historical landmarks. Take a stroll through this iconic park and reflect on the sacrifices made by brave soldiers at the Lim Bo Seng Memorial and the Cenotaph, and marvel at the intricacies of the Victorian splendour of the distinctive blue and white Tan Kim Seng Fountain, built in 1882 to commemorate the contributions to Singapore of the famous Chinese philanthropist.

Built across the mouth of Marina Channel, Marina Barrage (MB) creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, Marina catchment is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment. Unaffected by tides, water level in Marina Reservoir is kept constant all year round. This is ideal for all kinds of recreational activities such as boating, kayaking and dragonboating.

The Merlion's body symbolises Singapore's humble beginnings as a fishing village when it was called Temasek, which comes from the same root as the word tasek ('lake' in Malay). Its head represents Singapore’s original name, Singapura, or ‘lion city’ in Malay. Today, you can glimpse this legend at Merlion Park. Spouting water from its mouth, the Merlion statue stands tall at 8.6 metres and weighs 70 tonnes. This icon is a must-see for tourists visiting Singapore, similar to other significant landmarks around the world.
