Waterboat House Garden, Park in Downtown Core, Singapore.
Waterboat House Garden stands at the mouth of Singapore River, offering views across the waterway in the Central Business District.
The garden occupies the former location of the original Merlion Park, which operated from 1972 until the statues relocated to One Fullerton in 2002.
The space commemorates Singapore's maritime heritage through its connection to the 1919 Waterboat House, which supplied vessels with fresh water.
The garden remains open 24 hours daily and connects directly to Raffles Place MRT station through the nearby pedestrian walkways.
A heritage Tamarind tree within the garden has grown in this location for over 70 years, predating the garden's establishment.
