Marina Barrage

The Marina Barrage is located at Marina Bay. It's a dam spanning the Marina Channel, forming Singapore's 1st reservoir in the city. It will be a new source of water supply for S'pore, serve as flood control, & deliver an impeccable waterfront experience.This is the roof garden where we can picnic here. And can see the beautiful city skyline from here too. This green roof garden is actually build to serve as an insulation to lower the temperature of the building.
There's 8 pavilions along the Marina Bridge where we can gather with a bunch of friends, sit ard & chit chat while enjoying the sea breeze. This Bridge is also the Barrage, it comprises of 9 steel crest gates, 30m long each, built across the 350m wide Marina Channel. Beside separating seawater from freshwater, it also acts as a tidal barrier to keep out high tide. The 5m tall gates can be lowered during heavy rain so that water from reservoir can be released into the sea.

Here's the water playground, see so many children playing there, there are adults too =P
There are also art pieces by local & international artists located around the facility.
There's also a Support Sustainability Gallery, where you can learn abt Singapore's efforts towards environmental sustainability. At the exit of the Gallery, is a small cafe for you to relax & take a drink & bits after a long day. There's also a Chinese Restaurant at Level 1 too.
