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.

Nearby food	Within walking distance: Margaret Market, Dawson Hawker Centre and neighbourhood cafes for quick bites or a drink after your rooftop walk.
Address	SkyVille @ Dawson, 86 Dawson Road, Singapore 141086 (accessible via lift to rooftop level)

🌿 Tip: Enjoy a pocket of greenery above the city — relax, walk, and soak in the view. Plus, save on rides with TADA, earn Sweatcoins as you explore, and get cashback on your post-walk treats with ShopBack! 🏙️✨
