Location 3- Woodlands Civic Centre / Woodlands Regional Library

The Woodlands Civic Centre is a place where there is tuition, education, food, and much more. It is a location frequented by many people, as it is just opposite Causeway Point, the seventh largest shopping centre in Singapore.

The Centre is well known for the Woodlands Regional Library which it houses. It is a large library, which is twice the size of the Tampines Regional Library.

The library has, since its opening, been renovated to have a cafe, a water-wall, a stage and multimedia stations. It is now 4 floors high, with sections for Adult, Reference, Children and Young People.

The Woodlands Civic Centre has been renovated since its opening. It now has a nicer promenade, and the building has been refurbished. However, some parts of it are still being renovated.

Location 2 - Woodlands Waterfront

The Woodlands Waterfront is a very new place - it was only opened last year! It was part of URA's Parks and Waterbodies Plan, and is a place built along a then-little-known stretch of coastline. The waterfront has a event space, a picnic green with shelters, a jetty walk, and a multi-generational playground.


The place used to be a little-known tranquil coastline, where it was kept as reserve space. However, since URA had no use for it in the near/somewhat distant future, it decided to turn it into a recreational space.

Location 1 - Vista Point

Vista Point is a familiar shopping centre to the people who live near it. It has a supermarket, a food court, some education centres and a stationary shop, to the convenience of the residents.

However, its architecture is by no means lousy. It is known for its architecture, and its symbolic clock tower. Inside it, it has a open space which allows plants to grow, but still keeping the shoppers sheltered.

Over the years, Vista Point has gained more shops and become more convenient to the residents. The food there has also become better and more well-known.

My Experience In Accomplishing This Task

-What I enjoyed most when working on this task:
I enjoyed trying to take some good pictures of the Woodlands Waterfront, and exploring the places to see how the "present" looks like. I think I enjoyed taking the pictures because Woodlands Waterfront was extremely beautiful, and there were many interesting events to capture. I like to explore because usually I do not have the chance to see these landmarks.


-What were some challenges you faced?
I faced a few challenges, such as trying to find a place to go and ensuring that that place was still part of 
Woodlands. As Woodlands is a neighborhood without many places of interest, I had some difficulty finding places. Ensuring that the place was still part of Woodlands is not an easy job, as its boundaries are not very clear. Even searching on the internet would not give me much information, as Woodlands is a less-documented place.


-Describe ONE area that you think you could do better if given the opportunity to do it again.
I think that I could have done Woodlands Waterfront better if given the opportunity to do it again. This is because at the time when I went to Woodlands Waterfront, it was raining and I could not explore most of it and take more pictures.
