The octagonal gazebo was erected in 1930. Although no longer used for music performances, it is a favorite wedding photo spot. The bandstand is also icon and symbol of the Garden. The garden was first set up by Stamford Raffles, who was the founder of Singapore as well as being a naturalist at Fort Canning. In 2015 the Gardens was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

 

One of the notable landscape features of the Bandstand today is the ring of Yellow Rain Trees (Samanea saman) surrounding it. The Rain Tree usually has light green foliage, but due to a mutation, some trees produced yellow leaves and some of these plants have been re-produced by cloning.
