Traveler reviews
Xin Yi
★★★★★7 months agoFantastic place to spend the weekend—the park really comes alive. There are people playing soccer, families and kids enjoying the amusement rides, and even some fishing. It is a lively and pleasant sight. We tried the buggy ride, which was a fun 20-minute activity and cost $50K. A nice option if you are nearby and looking for something light to do.
Keith Barak Chan
★★★★★a year agoAmazing to stumble across this big public park. Found many locals playing sports, jogging, and walking their dogs. Interestingly, this looks and feels very much like Singapore in the 1980s. A very nice place to relax and enjoy the scenery.
