"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.

Getting There
Located close to the Hyatt Regency Hotel, facing the Selat Tebrau (Tebrau Straits). It is bordered by and accessible via Jalan Sungai Chat and Jalan Abu Bakar.
"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."
"Basically there's nothing here except the clock tower. For all shutter bug, I supposed a night shot would be nicer than daylight shot." by Alif
