"Plaza is a Spanish word related to "field" which describes an open urban public space, such as a city square. It’s the space where a large crowd gathers during public occasions or crisis. The plaza remains a center of community life that is only equaled by the market-place. In modern usage, a plaza can be any gathering place on a street or between buildings, a street intersection with a statue. It’s a center of a town/city or a certain place".
By this definition, there's plenty of town plaza here in Singapore to choose from. After going through my archive I've decided to feature the area where I live with the many open areas where the residents like to hang around, so off I went yesterday to capture the nearby place. Even though we are a small island with limited land resources, the authorities always make sure there's enough open spaces and green parks for the people, very close to their homes.
A place to just hang around anytime, very close to home.

You have truly amazing parks and public spaces to hang out. I like the shade that is provided and the idea that you could go there for BBQ!
I love your colors, the are clear and true - are those little semi circles the BBQ area or a place to sit and contimplate?
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! I love all the colour and I love seen green trees.
Nearing the end of winter here, I sure miss the greenery.
Absolutely gorgeous!! I would feel so tiny in many of your shots :) - everything seems to beautifully large.
What a truly beautiful place. I think if I lived there I would be pinching myself!! Wow. I often think that when I look at the mountains here..blessed!! Beautiful shootout as always hon, Sarah
Nice parks and the buildings are so colorful! Great shootout!
You have wonderful public spaces, so clean and bright. But where are all the people? I would have thought with such a high population these lovely places would be crowded!
Such beautiful spaces! I really enjoyed all your photos.
Do you know what i like most about SIN ?.Singapore is a very clean city.
Wow !!beautiful,clean & green..like you say even thought SIN is small island but the green still there.
Thanks for sharing.
Ah ya!!!1 Jama,
The last photo, first look, very nice, green and cool.
Second look, I bet the designer is Ang Mo. I bet the Chinese don't like it. I lived along Jln Bahar, and not far where I like to drive to, are the "armchairs" of Chua Chu Kang. You know what I am talking about.
BTW, do Muslims cremate their dead?
Let me guess.... Ang Mo Kio?
