Toa Payoh

Toa Payoh is a residential town in the Central Region with housing blocks, shopping centers, and recreational spaces integrated throughout. Transportation networks including rail and bus routes link all areas together.

The town began in 1970 as Singapore's second satellite town, transforming agricultural land and informal settlements into a modern residential area. This transformation shaped how the town developed afterward.

The town center hosts food courts and markets where neighbors gather daily to share meals and celebrate local festivals together. These spaces reflect how residents connect through food and community traditions that define their everyday life.

The MRT station at Toa Payoh serves as a central transportation hub with rail and bus connections to other areas. Walkways and pedestrian zones make moving around on foot straightforward and pleasant.

A community garden near the Sensory Park shows how residents grow tropical fruits and vegetables together. This growing space is where long-time residents teach cultivation methods to younger neighbors.
