Asia Beauty Spot – Asia Scenery

Tiong Bahru Park was first developed around 1967 to serve the residents in Henderson, Bukit Merah and Lower Delta Road. In 1977, the park incorporated a nursery site. The park was later redeveloped in 2000 to reflect a theme of ‘Old Frame, New Images’. The upgraded park features many new facilities to meet the recreational needs of different groups of park users and provides a livelier ambience to the park. An example is the tilting train in the adventure playground that is loved by children. More trees and palms were planted to provide better shade, more greenery and a cool environment for visitors.

Conveniently located right beside Tiong Bahru Plaza, this park is centrally located, with a large enough area to roam about. There are lots of things to see, with a variety of plants and flowers and a pond with aquatic plants, fishes and tortoise. We saw a family of tortoise sun bathing one late morning to the excitement of my little one.
Complete with a large playground with a tilting train, merry go round among other fun stuff. It is one of the few remaining playgrounds that still uses sand and you will see many children bring their tools for building and digging.

The pond had plenty of aquatic plants and although the water is muddy, you can spot a few kois and tortoise in it. The playground has an interesting tilting train which is lots of fun!
