Overview

The Padang field is the venue for most of the island's important events, such as the Chingay Parade during the Lunar New Year. In the old days, sepoy regiments used it for target practice and the Manila Band played from a bandstand from 1890 to 1954. Portions of the Padang's expanse have been carved out for a children's playground, an outdoor market selling Malay food and a much-needed car park. Some of the numerous trees here boast of diplomatic connections as they were variously planted by visiting foreign dignitaries including the Emperor of Japan, a Sumatran governor and a South Australian premier.
