Tanjong Pagar Park, formerly known as Tanjong Pagar RICOH Park, is an urban park situated at the top of Tanjong Pagar Centre in Singapore.[1] The entire complex is located above Tanjong Pagar MRT Station.



History[edit]


Tanjong Pagar Park was originally launched on 21 October 2005 as a partnership between the National Parks Board and Ricoh Asia Pacific Pte Ltd, and was named Tanjong Pagar RICOH Park.[2][3] It was a 1.02 hectare pocket park which served as a convenient location for people to meet and interact in a colourful and green environment. The key features of the park included landscapes consisting of colourful plants and trellises with climber plants, and these aimed to ameliorate the harshness of the concrete buildings in the Central Business District. Park visitors were encouraged to appreciate the park's greenery from the signs located all around the park which gave details about its environment. The park also consisted of benches and seats installed under mature trees such as Cratoxylum formosum (Pink Mampat) and Pterocarpus indicus (Angsana). There were 17 of these benches the park which were donated by Ricoh, and were specially manufactured in Australia from recycled toner cartridges.


In 2013, the park was demolished and original site of the park was used to construct Tanjong Pagar Centre. The park was then reopened at the top of the building with a new look and landscape in 2016.[1]
