PARKING AT MARTIN PLACE RESIDENCE
When turning into the condominium, stop at the security guard post and let them know what event you’re here for and that you’re going to the Grand Pavilion. The parking lot is at B1, after which you can take the stairs or elevator up to the Clubhouse on L1. The Grand Pavilion is at the end of the pool.
PARKING AT NTU
The university is flanked by the PIE to the south and Jalan Bahar to the east. There are two entrances when travelling via the PIE, take either the Jalan Bahar entrance (Exit 36) or the Pioneer Road North entrance (Exit 38). You can use the interactive campus map here to search for the nearest carpark to your desired destination – we recommend Carpark A, which connects to North Spine. This is the closest carpark to The Arc. Head past the supermarket and turn right. You should pass by a long LED display wall. Turn left at the end of that wall, and walk down the stairs next to the lift. At the bottom of the stairs, head left. After walking straight for a bit, the Innovation Port will be to your right – it’s near the spiral staircase in the middle of the ground floor. For more information, refer here.
PARKING AT MANDAI WILDLIFE EAST
Mandai Wildlife East about a 30-minute drive from the city; you can park at EAST Carpark to access it. For more information on parking charges etc., refer here
