Hidden Garden in Marina CBD

#parksandgardens If you're working around the CBD area, you'll surely just be surounded by buildings every work day. It can feel suffocating at times especially after a stressful day at work. Knowing and visiting pockets of garden or parks near your workplace might just alleviate a dreary day. It doesn't matter whether the place is man-made or natural justas long as you get your much needed pause. And I have noticed that in Singapore, there will always be places like this scattered everywhere, some might even be hidden. Marina One Green Heart is a hidden public garden located at Marina One an is open 24/7. It is located at the middle of the towers of Marina One. There's a walking trail where you'll be surrounded by the varying plants. There are also lots of benches or seating areas. There are ponds at the ground level. Another feature is the 3-storey-high waterfalls that you'll also pass by when using the walking trail. The overall design of the building is very contemporary. The use of organic or curved shapes as edges of the levels and the materials or fininshes used are very modern. Standing at different levels of the building and at different sides offer different views. Since Marina One is an office and residential buildng, there are restaurants at the first few levels that the public can go to when feeling hungry. My friend and I visited the garden on a saturday afternoon. There were not much people there. The place was so peaceful especially hearing cascading waterfalls, birds, and leaves rustling. We chanced upon a couple doing a photo shoot for their upcoming wedding and remembering how I thought that the photos will surely look good with the park as the location. There were also sprinkling of tourists taking photos around the garden. I also observed that people in the area are mindful of their behavior especially when it comes to noise since the garden is located in a residential place. Marina One Green Heart is easily accessible via public and private transport. The nearest MRT stations are Shenton Way of brown line, Marina Bay of orange and red line, and Downtown station of blue line. #singapore #tripblazersg #tripblazers #tripblazer #marinaone #parks #garden
