🟩 History= Toa Payoh Town Garden was completed in 1973. 🟨 Its main features are an observation tower & a landscaped pond with willowing trees.

🟧 In the 1970s, Toa Payoh Garden was really super popular for outdoor wedding photography. I should know, because my late eldest sister-in-law took her wedding photos here.

✳️ I have lived in Toa Payoh East since 1970, and Toa Payoh Garden is just 2 bus stops away from my block. 🟨 The garden was temporarily closed in 1999 to make way for a temporary bus interchange.

🟪 In 2002, the garden was restored to its former glory and intensively landscaped to make it more lush and with more verdant greenery.

😭 In 2024, Toa Payoh Town Park was closed from 1 February 2024 for re-development works. 🟨 The expected date of completion is 2030.

🔷️ The entire Toa Payoh Garden, plus Toa Payoh Swimming Complex next door, plus Toa Payoh Stadium and the entire sports complexes for badminton and other sports halls will all be demolished to make way for an integrated park and community facility buildings.

✳️ The entire area will be completed only in 2030.❇️ By that time, I am not sure if I would still be around, you never know. 💛 So I am sharing the older photos I took several years ago.

💙 I hope by sharing the former photos of a glorious & beautiful Toa Payoh Garden in its hey day, this would help preserve its memories for future generations to know and understand what Toa Payoh Garden was like.

💜 Please come visit the new garden when it is completed in 2030. 😥 My late father used to bring me here to this park in the 1970s when I was a little girl.

Toa Payoh Town Park is a place I grew up and brings back much memories.

The photos below are taken at night and very serene and quiet for you to take a walk or run with loved ones to relax. I have added some photos during the day as well.

There's a pond, bridge and many pavilions, paths for cycling/walking. It's also very cooling at night and great for reflections to be done if you like.

There's also sheltered area for fitness class to be conducted at.

There's also vending machines with snacks for you to buy if needed.

A good place to enjoy for free!

Was there during weekend. Very popular with helpers of various cultures enjoying themselves. Great place to chill and relaxation for them. Also the pond and bridge looked good for photography. Very nice place for a walk/jog in the evening.
