NTU (Nanyang Technological University) is on the very west side of Lion
City and it takes quite a while to get there, but it's worth checking
out.
The bank/pyramid spot is next to the Tan Chin Tuan Lecture Theatre and
is extremely fun to skate. You can grind on the top or pop some tricks.
This spot is for creative skaters and is shaped in a square so lines
would look really cool here.
Also, it can get very hot at this spot and the spot itself has no shade
so I recommend coming at around 4-7pm in the evening or early in the
morning, the spot has no lights so I recommend leaving once it gets
dark.
WARNING! the top is very un-waxed and if
you try to slide on the top you may get stuck and there is a high chance
your board will end up in the fountain.
The marble ledges is just a 5 minute walk from the pyramid spot and is a
perfect height and length. Bring some wax to help protect the curb and
reduce the chances of chipping the edge. The spot is covered so you can
skate even when it rains, but the noise will echo so don't bring your
entire crew.
Security wise, I have been kicked out of the pyramid spot a couple
of times (and I go all the time), but as long as you are polite to
security and don't argue you can probably come back in an hour or so and
re-start your session.

One of the only wooden wallrides in Singapore.
Weird
looking architecture is always good to skate. Though getting speed can
be quite difficult, some stall tricks look pretty wicked on this.
Definitely a spot to be creative with your skating, be it on a wallride or stair trick.
Spot is located at the foot of a hill creating possibility for some flat lines before reaching the stairs.

One North Park @ Buona Vista Spot is located 2 minutes away (skating downhill) from Buona Vista MRT.
