As a young boy, Mr Jerome Lim spent many happy days playing at the dragon playground in Toa Payoh Town Garden, now known as Toa Payoh Town Park.
On Thursday, a similar playground at Lorong 6 Toa Payoh which sports the iconic dragon was announced as one of two newly marked sites along the Toa Payoh heritage trail that was launched by the National Heritage Board (NHB) in 2014.
The other new heritage trail marker is at Block 53 Lorong 5 Toa Payoh, which was visited by the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1972.
With the refreshed trail, there are now 10 trail markers, among 29 heritage sites, in the Toa Payoh heritage trail. Sites chosen to be marked were selected based on their historical, social and cultural significance.
NHB also took into account logistical feasibility to ensure traffic would not be obstructed after a site is marked.
The Toa Payoh heritage trail was the 11th such trail launched by NHB. Other heritage trails include the Tiong Bahru heritage trail and Sembawang heritage trail. There are currently 23 heritage trails.
