The rejuvenated area would be organised into three main sections: Orchid Park and Orchid Plaza, Istana Park and Dhoby Ghaut Green.<\/p>\n
Orchid Park and Orchid Plaza are envisioned as spaces to showcase the diversity and versatility of native orchids across a range of habitats, from trees to wetlands.<\/p>\n
“We are studying the incorporation of nature-based solutions into the park. These integrated design strategies can help to address resilience and biodiversity concerns, such as multi-functional water gardens to manage stormwater runoff, and ecoactive totems to support the biodiversity population in the park,” said NParks.<\/p>\n
The redeveloped Istana Park will retain its ceremonial significance as the entryway to the Istana.<\/p>\n
It could incorporate a pedestrianised section of Orchard Road as a new ceremonial driveway, flanked by flagpoles and mature trees leading directly to the Istana\u2019s main gate, said NParks.<\/p>\n
There could also be new indoor attractions such as galleries to showcase Singapore’s multicultural heritage and enhance the horticultural experience for visitors.<\/p>\n
The new ceremonial driveway could replace the existing festive arch at Istana Park.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
