The place offers both recreational and some educational displays. Primarily the place has an impressive rooftop lawn, popular for kite flying, and views of the city, especially so when firework displays are on-going.
 
Pinnacle@Duxton
SGD$6/pax charge to get access to the
panoramic rooftop on the 50th floor
The vision of late Mr Lee. The Pinnacle@Duxton (1848Units total) holds the titles of world's tallest public housing development and longest (500m) sky gardens. The 50th story sky garden is accessible 9am-9pm daily at a $6 charge per pax.

*View from older HDB on the 27th floor*
The view is spectacular and would love to see it during the day. Old vs New HDB(Housing Development Board) blocks. Pinnacle@Duxton is no doubt an iconic building from every angle, in and around the Tanjong Pagar area. 
 
Haji Lane

Free to roam around and view of the National Mosque

Excellent, free outdoor viewing gallery of beautifully decorated buildings, murals and street art. Haji lane has the greatest concentration of these art works, but that's not to say the rest of the area is void of other art works and great eats. 

Explore the various alley ways to get a sense of local street art and vibe. This place is still where many go to purchase Arab-Muslim foodstuff and merchandise.
