Duxton Plain Park, Singapore

Duxton Plain Park, Singapore (29 July 2017)


Duxton Plain Park (GPS: 1.2785, 103.84137) is a long, narrow and curved park between New Bridge Road and Yan Kit Road. It got its rather unusual shape from the fact that it was once railway track. Until the Malayan Railway realigned its track in the 1930s, the track passed through here on its way to the terminus at Tanjong Pagar.

The railway tracks used to go north towards Orchard Road. They have long been removed, and in their place is this strangely shaped park. It can accessed from New Bridge Road, Keong Saik Road, Neil Road, Craig Road and Yan Kit Road.

Taking the MRT to Duxton Plain Park

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
