Mount Emily Swimming Pool and Coat of Arms

Opened in 1929 as Singapore's first public pool, Mount Emily Swimming Pool was once a popular destination for local swimmers. Originally a reservoir, it closed in 1981 due to low attendance. The site is now Mount Emily Park, featuring the Singapore Municipal Commission's Coat of Arms, granted in 1948.
