The Dairy got its name because cows used to graze in front of the building, and children would get fresh milk and other refreshments there. Over the years the building became dilapidated. In 1979 it was restored to its original appearance. Restorers based the restoration on old photographs and drawings of the building.

Today the Dairy is used as the Central Park Visitor Center. People going to Central Park can get maps of the park there before they begin exploring it.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
