"Slightly raised above the ground, it comprises a clock tower that faces a series of fountains and the open lawns that has been a popular venue for outdoor performances and events."
Dataran Bandaraya has been the spot for many important events in Johor Bahru since 1994. The landmark clock tower here was built to commemorate the proclamation of Johor Bahru as a city in January 1994.
Since its official opening, many state events and cultural performances have taken place here. The clock tower looks over a beautiful series of fountains, out to a wide, open green lawn, which makes for a great venue for outdoor performances and events.

"Dataran Bandaraya should be holding the annual countdown event every year. Don't disappoint the city dwellers."
"if they could close the main road and let the dataran stretch all the way to the sea then it would definitely be a place worth spend your evening walks. currently the major road besides the dataran is a major deterent for people to enjoy the dataran. just my 2 cents."
