Youth Olympic Park

Youth Olympic Park

The Youth Olympic Park is a park dedicated to the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010 and the youths of the nation.

From its name 'Youth Olympic Park', I had imagined that the park was built over an area of near Olympic-sized proportions, filled with representative sports-related amenities for individuals like you and I to try our hands on.

Instead, the Youth Olympic Park is a modest-sized outdoor park tucked away in a corner of Temasek Avenue and Raffles Avenue. It is situated at the mouth of the Helix Bridge entrance / exit, next to the Bayfront Bridge.

Here are some photographs of the Youth Olympic Park.

Youth Olympic Park Photo 3: Is this the tallest tree or the highest mountain in Singapore?


Elsewhere, symbols of the various Youth Olympic sports can be spotted on stands at the Youth Olympic Park that double up as stools for visitors to sit and appreciate the uniqueness of this cozy garden.

Have you seen the Youth Olympic Park in Singapore?


See more places. Live more life.

Where To Find This Place In Singapore (2)


Where To Find This In Singapore (2)

In this "Where to find this place in Singapore (2)" quiz, all readers are invited to participate.

Answer the following questions:

(a) Where to find this sculpture in Singapore? (Give the name of this park.)

(b) What is the name for this sculpture?

(c) Who created this sculpture?

(d) When was it installed?


I can offer some hints.

There is only one such sculpture (well, its the only one that I've seen) in the public parks of Singapore.

You can't physically touch the top of this sculpture because of its height, unless you are a good climber.

You can find other tall public sculptures and artwork in this park.

There is a children's playground nearby.

HDB flats surround this sculpture.

The answers to questions (b), (c) and (d) are pinned to the base of this sculpture.

I think these will be all the clues that I can give without revealing answers.

You may leave questions in the comments but I will only answer with a "yes" or a "no".

If there are no correct answers, I shall reveal the answer at the end of the month. You have about a month to go on a treasure hunt and find this place in Singapore.

Enjoy the quiz!
