| Why visit | Dawson Sky Garden is an open-access community rooftop garden connecting the residential blocks at SkyVille @ Dawson and SkyTerrace @ Dawson. It offers a breezy walkway lined with plants, shaded rest spots and panoramic views of Queenstown and the city skyline. It’s perfect for an evening stroll or quiet family time outdoors. |
| What to do | • Take a peaceful walk along the elevated pathways surrounded by greenery. • Sit at sheltered benches and enjoy the breeze. • Spot butterflies and birds attracted by the rooftop plantings. • Great for quiet reading, light exercise or gentle play for kids (but no playground equipment). |
| Best time to go | Early morning or sunset for cooler weather and to catch the best city views. Bring a hat and water if visiting midday as some areas have limited shade. |
| Family facilities | Benches, covered rest areas and lift access make it friendly for strollers, seniors and kids. Note: No shops or toilets directly at the sky garden — use facilities at the neighbouring blocks or nearby food centres. |
| Getting there | MRT: Queenstown MRT (EW19) — 8–10 mins walk. Bus: Several bus stops along Margaret Drive and Dawson Road. TADA: Avoid parking stress — take a TADA ride and enjoy vouchers! Sign up with code TOTMEI: TADA Referral Link. |
