New orchid park, family-friendly facilities proposed as part of expanded Istana Park

The Singapore National Parks Board (NParks) is considering an expanded Istana Park, with enhancements for families and a connecting elevated bridge. The proposed park will feature a nature playgarden, indoor galleries, and a ceremonial driveway connecting it to the Istana entrance. The expansion aims to rejuvenate the Dhoby Ghaut sub-precinct, becoming the green heart of Orchard Road.

The project is part of the Orchard Road Rejuvenation Project, initiated in 2019, and will also include pocket parks along Orchard Road and at Handy Road and Somerset.
