History of Jurong Lake Park (Part A)

Jurong Lake lies next to the Lakeside MRT station. It is a 70ha freshwater lake and reservoir lovated in the western region of Singapore formed with the damming of Sungei Jurong further downstream. The lake serves as a reservoir  contributing to the water supply of the country. It lies next to the Lakeside MRT station, which derived its name from this geographical feature. The lake is surrounded by parkland, which serves as a recreational ground for nearby residents in Jurong East and Jurong West New Towns.

There are several tourists attractions located near or even within the lake, including a Chinese Garden and a Japanese Garden, which are located on their respective islands within the Lake, as well as the nearby Tang Dynasty Village.
