Location of proposed youth-centric park

The location of the park is a small-forested area bordered by the Sungei Ulu Pandan on the North, Ghim Moh Link on the East, and Commonwealth Avenue West on the South. It is located a stone's thrown away from the Dover MRT station, and has good entry and exit pedestrian and vehicular accessibility through the various elements surrounding the area. The current existing youth-centric institutions located around a 3 km radius of the proposed park space also provides a ready market for the students to work on.
