A beautiful park where wild chickens roam freely. It’s a bit sad to see trees being cut down today. I really hope the government preserves this park—it’s a joy to watch the chickens and listen to their crowing everyday.

🌳Yishun Park was built on a former rubber plantation site. Some rubber trees and fruit trees can still be found around the lush hilly park. 🛝🎠The hilly Park was developed with facilities like Playground, Nature Playgarden, Fitness Station, Allotment Garden, Amphitheatre and Dog Run that were mostly located on lower ground of the Park centred around it's entrance plaza. 🧢There are 3 main entrances to the Park. 1. They are Dipterocarpus Entrance near to SAFRA Yishun at the South, 2. Hopea Entrance at the junction of Yishun Central and Yishun Ave 11 at the North, and 3. Shorea entrance opposite Yishun Park Hawker Centre at the East. 🎢Yishun Park is connected to Yishun Pond Park by an overhead bridge with a Spiral Tower. 🚍Getting here: Bus 103 & 812 stops right in front of the Park. Board bus from Yishun Interchange. 🌲Fun note: 🥬Yishun Park was once part of a plantation that belonged to Chye Kay Village, located at present-day Nee Soon East. 🌳Dipterocarpus, Hopea and Shorea are native tree species in Singapore, including in Yishun Park.
