Marina Barrage

Due to work, my last weekend was burn again. Since i have to be part of the Clean & Green Singapore and the opening of the Marina Barrage as my boss wanted to support the government bodies. So the cheapest way is to feature our only hybrid model there to create awareness as well as garner some sales which we didn't achieve at all since it is the wrong crowd.

So to kill time and avoid burned under the hot sun, I toured the Marina Barrage, which is a pretty nice place for picnic and a place to oversee the night view of the CBD area.

Below are pictures of the place:

The reservoir. One side is the clear water and the other side is the sea water.

Play area for the kids as well as water sports.

View from the rooftop. Scenery of the Singapore Flyer and CBD.

Gallery 1: Something New? It showcase the environmental challenges of today. It has this huge "organic tree" that symbolises the uncertain state of our present environment.

A huge wall fixture using plastic bottles.

Gallery 2: A river runs through it. It recounts the clean-up of the Singapore and Kallang Rivers.

Gallery 3: Water, Water Everywhere. Features the Active, Beautiful, Clean waters programme launched by PUB in 2007. You can even create the ideal waterways around our homes.

Gallery 4: The Marina Barrage. It details the intricate construction and operations of the dam. You can watch what happens when rain falls and water builds up behind the barrage.

Also came across this water wall.

Gallery 5: Small Country, Big Efforts. It features Singapore's careful planning and management of its limited land area to maximise its potential. This little cubes represents the different locations of Singapore.

Gallery 6: I Do. It displays an unwavering commitment from our 3P (people, Private and Public) sectors to care for the environment and water. It also allow you to take a picture and place your commitment to the wall.

See how the place transform in the night. The night view is pretty amazing but somehow my camera can't do a good job and justice to the place.

So if you are interested, you can drop by Marina Barrage at 260 Marina Way. It is open from 9am - 6pm (weekdays) and 10am - 8pm (weekends) and close on every Tuesday.
