Queen Elizabeth Walk, Singapore (28 July 2017)
Queen Elizabeth Walk (GPS: 1.2883, 103.85322) is a promenade at the Esplanade Park in Singapore. It used to be by the seaside, but is now within Marina Bay. During colonial times, the British spent their afternoons strolling or playing cricket. All that is changed now. Although Queen Elizabeth Walk is still a shady, tree-lined promenade, since the sea was reclaimed to form
Marina Square, Queen Elizabeth Walk - which was also built on reclaimed land - now partly overlooks the
Esplanade Theatres on the Bay. Where there is still a seafront, what is visible is the new Esplanade Bridge and the newly created
Marina Bay.
Queen Elizabeth Walk is located on
Esplanade Park, which was created in 1943 to provide a little greenery to the Civic District of Singapore. Queen Elizabeth Walk itself got its name in 1953 in celebration of the coronation of the queen.
Prior to the creation of Esplanade Park, Queen Elizabeth Walk was lined with a row of European houses which are now gone.
