In Yio Chu Kang, vibrant wayfinding murals and new directional signs are making it easier for residents to find their way home.
Introduced across all residential blocks as part of Ang Mo Kio Town Council’s efforts to build a more dementia-friendly and accessible neighbourhood, these murals are painted on pillars at the void decks, pointing the way to nearby MRT stations, schools, and neighbouring blocks.
Each mural incorporates recognisable cues such as large block numbers, bold colours, and familiar fruit-themed visuals. These consistent and easily identifiable features help residents, especially seniors, caregivers, and persons with dementia move through their neighbourhood with greater confidence.
All blocks across Yio Chu Kang now feature fixed colour codes and fruit themes, making it easier for residents to identify their location and find their way around.
Check out the recently completed features:
Blocks 601 to 610 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Purple-red pillars featuring grapes
Blocks 611 to 619 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Dark red pillars featuring pineapples
Blocks 620 to 627 & Blocks 629 to 632 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Dark green pillars featuring pears
Blocks 633 to 640 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Light red pillars featuring cherries
Blocks 641 to 650 Ang Mo Kio Ave 5: Brownish-yellow pillars featuring star fruits
By the third quarter of 2025, more wayfinding murals & directional signs will be completed at:
Blocks 201 to 204 & Blocks 209 to 214 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3: Dark green pillars featuring oranges
Blocks 119 to 128 Ang Mo Kio Ave 3: Orange pillars featuring apples
The wayfinding murals and directional signs at Yio Chu Kang build upon the earlier “Murals Breathing Life into Our Heritage” initiative launched across Ang Mo Kio. These murals were deployed with dementia-friendly principles in mind: simple and iconic visuals, strategic placement, and a focus on community engagement.
Whether you are returning from the market, guiding a loved one home, or simply enjoying a stroll, the colourful murals and clear directional signage reflect a deeper goal: to create a neighbourhood where everyone feels supported, safe, and seen.
