It boasts numerous amenities and is at the doorstep of the Singapore Botanic Gardens. The main gate into the park, known as Tanglin Gate, is less than 200m from the main entrance of the property. The Tanglin Gate leads to the park’s facilities like the Botany Centre, the SBG Heritage Museum and CDL Green Gallery.
