When you wanna park at this car park, got to prepare yourself for a lot of 'aerial bombardment' to your car. 

Way back in the 90's, nearby there was also the small car park in front of Somerset MRT Entrance next to Hotel Phoenix then (Currently occupied by 313 Orchard) which always had that same issue. Looks like that area is a favourite roosting spot for birds, and still is. 

Many years ago my favorite was the public carpark just outside Overseas Family School along Paterson Road. Weekdays/Sat free parking after 5pm and all day on Sun/PH. 

Practically 10 mins walk to orchard road only.

The carpark is now TEL MRT construction lot liao and the sch moved to pasir ris 😔

You heng la, first your car window left a gap which can lower down the hanger, then lucky someone can lend you a hanger cause how often you can find driver with hanger inside their car de. Lastly your skill also quite good la, if not you also cannot unlocked the lock with the hanger. Lol. Carrying spare key sometimes also no use, if you left your bag inside the locked car. Cause i have experienced before. [sweatdrop]

I remembered being very grateful and thankful then too.

One of those times in life i felt there are really kind ppl. What kind? The good hearted kind.😂😂

Have a nice week. Take care 

Safe ride

Cheers

People going there can park at nearby malls, dont think it will affect much?!

 That's like saying there won't be an impact if the hawker center near your house is closed down because you can head over to the cafes in the estate.

Haha...the memories.

I locked my keys inside car with engine running. And i had a movie to catch with 3 friends in an hour.

Car was bombed with bird shxt by the time the movie ended.

Had to drive to a car wash before paintwork gets permanent tattoos. 

Never parked there again.

So i am one of those who won't be missing it😅😂😂😂

Safe ride

Cheers 

Wow, that sure sounded like the epitome of a day gone wrong! But I guess the bird poo barrage is the always the highlight of that place. In my case, people were probably amused to see some dude desperately pouring water and placing numerous damp tissues all of the 'hits' to loosen the soiled areas before rinsing it off before rushing off to get the car washed...

This car-lite movement really kicking into high gear. I'm sure some must have noticed that recently quite a number of HDB/URA carparks being closed. The one at Kallang as well.

Anyway town area is not supposed to have cheap parking. This kind of high density area, they really are pushing for people to use public transport.

But I still think they should have more carparks in and around the fringe areas (Newton, Novena, etc), so people can park and ride in. Sometimes you really do need a car if you carrying things.

They closed Sungei Road to open one at Orchard Road .... :slow:

Might as well leave Sungei Road untouch.... :omg: 

Should have kept it as Heritage attraction place. Tourist wants to see the 50's of Singapore history....  [cool]

I don't think the flea market in grange road will work in Singapore. We don't have the market for night market unlike Thailand or Taiwan. You see bugis street, i don't think it is thriving there and it is only aim at the tourist.

they are trying v hard to bring back the crowd to Orchard.  

But how much are they going to rent the flea stalls for?  too expensive, no one will take.  As usual, i suspect it won't be cheap, and in the end, the project is a flop.
