Hong Lim Park was created by local businessman Cheng Hong Lim in 1885. It was the first public garden in Singapore. The park became the venue of election rallies during the 1950's and 1960's. As such, it was the apt choice for the Speakers' Corner which was created in September 2000.

Within the vicinity of Hong Lim Park is the Hong Lim Complex, Old Thong Chai Medical Institution and Great Eastern Centre.
