Merlion Park

Merlion Park is not as much a park as it is a standing symbol for all of Singapore. Spread out over 2,500 square meters, or about 27,000 square feet, the park is perhaps most famously known for its centerpiece, a 2 meter tall, or seven foot, Merlion cub fountain at the center.

Because of the great city view from the park, which extends out to the Marina Day Sands , the waterfront park has become a busy destination around  clock, with access open 24 hours a day. The park is centrally located on One Fullerton near to the busy Central Business District.

Drawing over a million visitors each year, the park’s Merlion cub was first unveiled to the public in 1972. A large public event was recently held for the 40th year anniversary of the occasion.
