the pavilion, ziz-zag bridge and the tea kiosk of macritchie reservoir park must have been around for at least forty years, together with the water-fountain that is still functioning.
the tea kiosk, up on the hill, is the only place where you can get food at the park.
one of the old attractions that is no longer around is the floral clock which i blogged about earlier this year.
more students than genuine park visitors have traversed the bridge when making their way to the start of the cross-country running route. until a few years back, macritchie was the favoured venue for the inter-school cross-country races. lately, they have tried holding them at alternative sites like the old turf club, sentosa and this year, the botanic gardens.
the pavilion, which used to host musical performances on sundays in the past, can now be accessed by members of the public. the place used to be locked up when not in use but these days anyone can walk into the performing area.
macritchie sure holds some fond memories for a lot of singaporeans for a variety of reasons.
