Merlion Park

Merlion Park is one of Singapore’s most recognisable waterfront landmarks and a must-visit stop for guests staying near the Civic District. Home to the iconic half-lion, half-fish Merlion statue, the park offers unobstructed views of Marina Bay, the Esplanade, and the city skyline. The walk from Swissôtel The Stamford is almost entirely flat, making it suitable for elderly companions who prefer minimal slopes and well-paved walkways.

Visitors can enjoy a cooling breeze along the bay, with several shaded areas and railings for support. Nearby benches allow for short rests while taking in the scenery. The area is particularly pleasant in the early morning or late afternoon, when temperatures are more comfortable. Merlion Park also links easily to the Jubilee Bridge, making it convenient to combine with Esplanade or a gentle stroll along the marina waterfront.
