Historically, Hong Lim Park was the first public garden, created by the Hokkien businessman and philanthropist, Cheng Hong Lim in 1885. In the 1950s and 1960s, it was the venue for many election rallies and political speeches. In September 2000, the Government designated the park as the venue of the existing Speakers' Corner. Abutting the park is the Telok Ayer Hong Lim Green Community Centre and the Kreta Ayer Neighbourhood Police Post. The nearby Hong Lim Market and Food Centre has been scheduled for upgrading works. The hawker stalls will be relocated temporarily to Hong Lim Park grounds for about a year.
