About Yishun Park

Yishun Park is a community green space in Singapore that offers a variety of outdoor activities and a tranquil urban oasis.

Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage

Yishun Park, located in the northern part of Singapore, is a public urban park that serves as a recreation area for residents and visitors. Spanning approximately 32 hectares, the park is a microcosm of ecological diversity with its ponds, fruit trees, and outdoor facilities. Originally a rubber estate, its landscape has been transformed into a vibrant habitat supporting various plant and bird species. Recreational opportunities abound, with jogging and walking trails winding through its lush greenery, as well as designated fitness corners and playgrounds interspersed across the park. Notably, Yishun Park houses a variety of tropical fruit trees such as durian, rambutan, and jackfruit, which are a nod to Singapore's agricultural history. The park is well used for family outings, exercise, and casual strolls, providing a peaceful escape amidst the urban environment. Nearby, the SAFRA Yishun Country Club offers additional recreational facilities. Yishun Park remains an integral part of the Yishun community, offering a green respite and serving as a habitat for wildlife in an otherwise densely populated city.
