Singapore Youth Olympic Park
It is Singapore’s first art park and is developed to foster a greater sense of community ownership and connection with Marina Bay. Currently, it features 27 pieces of art by local youths, depicting life’s aspirations. The park is named after the upcoming Youth Olympic Games and in July there will be Olympic-themed artwork to be installed to further enhance the park.
The park offers cool and shady corners for rest and a good vintage point for photography. A boardwalk connects the Park to Marina Promenade and the Helix Bridge connects the park to Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort.
At the grand steps leading to the entrance of The Helix bridge, visitors can read a poem titled ‘Lion Heart’ by Amanda Chong.
Visitors can walk through a landscaped maze, developed from a works by Aniket Chavan.A 4.5-metre high “mountain” will greet visitors at the centre of the maze, inspired by a drawing by Joyce Seah. There is a rock wall featuring 18 drawings by youths, depicting some of Singapore’s famous icons such as the Merlion, The Esplanade Theatres and HDB flats.
The ‘Emo-lightscape’ was conceptualised by Mr Kenneth Tan. It is an interactive ‘hop-scotch’ tiles that will light up when stepped on.
Another interesting installation is by Lui Honfay entitled “The Ribbon Seats”.
