History

Today

The amphitheatre at Dhoby Ghaut Green at dusk

The 1.1144 ha park today is a focal point for arts and cultural activities, community activities, and for users to appreciate the surrounding urban park landscape. The sculptural open-air amphitheatre in the central space is the key landmark of this park. The amphitheatre functions as a showpiece for the Architectural and Urban Design Excellence demonstration project. The amphitheatre also serves as a venue to encourage public interaction and enjoyment of the open space.

At the lower part of the amphitheatre is the performance stage. In the west of the park is a gravel area that functions as a platform for street bazaars and busker performances. An open field in the east of the park has been designed to provide an area for light recreational sports and other community events.

Getting there

The park is highly accessible to people from all over Singapore as it is at the confluence of 3 MRT lines, North-South line, North-East line and Circle line.
