Use the park for a short outdoor break or as a meeting point before walking to the river. Give your group a named landmark and say whether you will wait above ground. The station’s exit letters reach different buildings and sides of the district.

How to find the park above the MRT
If you are coming by train, follow the station directions to street level around Raffles Place. Once outside, look for the lawn and the surrounding office towers. Use the named park in your map if you emerge beside a different building.
If you are walking in from the city, use Battery Road, Collyer Quay or D’Almeida Street to orient yourself. These streets give you a clearer approach than searching for the broad Raffles Place district. For someone meeting you, add the street or a fixed landmark beside the lawn.
Where to take a short break
NParks lists the park as open 24 hours and wheelchair accessible. If you need a step-free approach from the station, check which street exit has a lift. Park access and the route out of the station are separate parts of the trip.
The Raffles Place Alliance has introduced public seating as part of its precinct work. Choose a seat or spot that leaves the through route clear. If furniture is moved or a path is temporarily closed, follow the signs and use another open area.

Continue towards Boat Quay and the river
If you only have time for a break, stay near the lawn and return to the station. For a longer walk, set UOB Plaza or the Singapore River as your next landmark. Use the crossings and pedestrian route rather than following a general direction through office lobbies.
At the river, you can make Botero’s Bird a short second stop. Decide whether to finish at the river or walk back to the park. If people are returning by different routes, send the final station or meeting place before leaving the lawn.
