That's a pretty creepy detail about the banyan tree in Sanny Park! Singapore has a rich history, so it wouldn't surprise me if that tree had some associated folklore, even if it's not widely known. Maybe try posting on some local Singaporean forums or Facebook groups? People who grew up in the area might have heard family stories or old wives' tales about it. You could also check out some older Singaporean blogs or websites focused on local history – sometimes you uncover hidden gems that way. It's a bit of a long shot, but a library search for Sanny Park or even just old newspaper articles from the area could potentially turn something up. Good luck with your mystery investigation!

Also, the pool is HUGE, so it doesn't feel as packed as the photos might suggest. You'll still get your iconic shots, don't worry. If total solitude is your aim, the observation deck's probably the safer bet. But the pool experience is pretty special... even with the crowds.
