Wednesday, July 2, 2008 Y 8:45 PM hi 1a2, i am helping you by giving you some information such as: A good bit of green for history fans. There is almost too much to do, despite its puny size: a spice garden, a replica of the first botanical garden set up by Sir Stamford Raffles, Gothic-looking gates that mark the entrance into the park, old Christian graves, underground bunkers used during World War II and an ongoing archaeological excavation site. The Registry of Marriages is also nearby, so expect to see many newlywed couples perspiring in their ridiculously hot suits. In 1972, the greenery around Fort Canning was known as Central Park with the amalgamation of the King George V Park (set up prior to World War II) and the land occupied by the British Armed Forces. The River Valley Road end of the park used to house the National Theatre and the Van Kleef Aquarium (opened in September 1955). It also had a roller-skating rink, a playground, a Vietnamese restaurant and a squash center.It was renamed Fort Canning Park with the planting of a fruit tree by the then-Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 1 November 1981. Today Fort Canning has been converted into a Historical Park. It is also a popular location for picnics and for performances by various cultural groups. Regards, Kush |
