The old Tanjong Pagar Railway Terminal has a special place in Singaporean hearts. Once serving the commuters between Singapore and Malaya, it is now instead re-purposed from rail to trail. This project covers 15 miles of the abandoned rail corridor into a mixed use trail/park that stretches across the entire island. Proposed activities are community orientated; just to name a few that are board walks, climbing walls, food vendors and outdoor movie projectors.
