Swan Lake is an artificial lake located at the Singapore Botanical Gardens in Singapore. Added to the gardens in 1866, the lake covers an area of about 15,000 m². The lake was closed for upgrading in 2003, and it was completed in April 2005 as part of the gardens' Tanglin Core Redevelopment. This statue, known as "Flight of Swans" was erected in 2006.
