★★★★★3 months agoI visited here for a morning walk. The park is quite large, so you'll definitely work up a sweat walking around. I highly recommend bringing a water bottle. It's full of nature, and spotting a wild chicken was a fun experience.
Isuru Dissanayake
★★★★★4 months agoThis is a quiet green park in Singapore. Looks like an old park with lot of greenery. It's clam, quiet and with lot of shade its ideal for a relaxing time. The famous Fort canning tree tunnel is also located here. Entrance is free. Popular place amongst the tourists. Good place to relax.
