Marina Barrage

Built across the mouth of the Marina Channel, the Marina Barrage creates Singapore’s 15th reservoir, and the first in the heart of the city. With a catchment area of 10,000 hectares, or one-sixth the size of Singapore, the Marina catchment is the island’s largest and most urbanised catchment. Together with two other new reservoirs, the Marina Reservoir will boost Singapore’s water catchment from half to two-third’s of the country’s land area.

The Marina Barrage is the result of Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew’s vision nearly two decades ago when he envisaged damming the mouth of the Marina Channel to create a freshwater reservoir.


Upon reaching there, you will be stunned by colorful fountain lights displays.
So I suggest you to visit Marina Barrage during night time, the view will be perfect.
You can even enjoy the coldness of the water by stepping into some of the colourful fountain displays.

Ratings :
Environment : 5/5 (Suitable outdoor visits during the weekends for families and couples, plus the colourful fountain lights display + the sea breeze)
Scenery : 5/5 (View of the Singapore skyline and the Singapore flyer is just by your eyesight)
Transport : 2/5 (The spaces in the carpark is limited, if you arrived late, you will have to wait for a long long queue for the cars to enter and exit.)
(As said by Dallas of Cornflict, the bad thing is that its pretty inaccessible by bus or by foot)
Overall : 5/5
(A not-to-be missed Singapore coolest place !)
