Waterboat House Garden, Park in Downtown Core, Singapore.
Waterboat House Garden is a park located at the mouth of Singapore River in the city center, offering views across the waterway and toward the business district. The space functions as a public green area among tall buildings and financial hubs.
This location previously housed Merlion Park from 1972 until the famous statues were moved to another waterfront location in 2002. After the statues left, the site was transformed into the garden that stands there today.
The garden reflects Singapore's maritime past through its riverside setting where supply vessels once operated. Visitors can sense this water-based heritage in how the space is arranged and used today.
The park is open around the clock and sits just steps away from Raffles Place MRT station through nearby pedestrian paths. It is easy to reach from surrounding streets and requires no admission.
An old Tamarind tree has stood in this location for more than 70 years, predating the garden itself. This long-established tree is often overlooked by visitors but offers a living connection to the site's past.
