Istana Park

This place will be undergoing changes from 2025 so it was good to come and sketch before it happens. A 500m stretch of Orchard Road in front of the Istana will be pedestrianised, while the 1.3ha Istana Park will be expanded to about thrice its current size, incorporating existing green spaces such as Dhoby Ghaut Green and the Penang Road Open Space. I hope this iconic structure in my sketch will not be demolished as it is now our collective memory when huge red banners are hung during festive seasons especially during National Day celebrations.
