History of Labrador Park MRT station
The station takes its name from Labrador Park, a historical site where British forces built fortifications and naval guns before the Second World War. The area is also linked to Tanjong Berlayer, a rugged granite outcrop that once marked the entrance to Keppel Harbour and guided early sailors through the narrow channel, until the British blew it up in 1848 to let bigger ships pass. In 2005 the government put up a symbolic replica near the original spot, known in English as Dragon’s Teeth Gate, in Malay as Batu Berlayar and in Chinese as Long Ya Men.

Look out for the Art in Transit work Without Which/Would Have Been/Impossible by Heman Chong, displayed on the side of the lift shaft. It shows the title alongside neatly arranged coloured circles of varying sizes, based on a microscopic view of a single rock from Labrador Park, which has the last surviving rocky sea cliff in Singapore.
