NParks to complete more parks, expand network in next five years

More than 25 parks will be completed over this period

The National Parks Board (NParks) will add eight more parks to the development pipeline and build 13 km of park connectors from 2025 to 2030.

Amongst the upcoming parks are those in Farrer Park, Spottiswoode, and Woodgrove.

Located within a larger integrated development at Farrer Park, this upcoming park will provide spaces for the community to engage in social and recreational activities amidst nature, with features such as a nature play area, jogging track, open lawn, and therapeutic landscape elements.

With these eight new parks in the development pipeline, more than 25 parks will be completed over the next five years. This includes Teachers’ Estate Park, Mandai Mangrove, and Mudflat Nature Park.

The approximately 8-hectare (ha) Teachers’ Estate Park will link the Central Catchment Nature Reserve to Khatib Nature Corridor. The new park will comprise an existing forested hillock, a therapeutic garden, and a nature playgarden.

Meanwhile, the approximately 72.8 ha Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat Nature Park will include new nodes, trails, and bird hides for wildlife observation whilst minimising impact on the mudflat.

Furthermore, to strengthen the connectivity between Singapore’s green spaces and enhance their accessibility, NParks will continue to expand its network of park connectors.

Between 2025 and 2030, over 50 km of park connectors will be completed. These include park connectors at Yishun Avenue 1, Bukit Panjang North, and Pioneer Road North.

NParks is also working with other agencies to study additional park connector routes. They are also undertaking concept studies for over 100 ha of potential park development area, which aims to provide Singaporeans with greater access to nature, promoting health and well-being through its green recreational spaces.
