Bukit Batok Nature Park
Location : Bukit Batok East Ave 2
Size : 36 ha
About the park :
This park was developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1988. The terrain is undulating and footpaths are meandering. Several look-out points, some reaching more than 10 storeys high, provide breathtaking views.
The serene ambience of the park provides and ideal backdrop for a peaceful nature walk. Near the entrance of the park, at the foot of a high cliff wall, is a picturesque 1.2 ha pond. The pond runs deep and still - a relic from the mining days of the region.
Joggers will welcome the undulating terrain and the serene ambience of the park.
During the Second World War, the Japanese selected a site at which the MediaCorp's tower stands as a memorial for the soldiers who died. Today, all that remains of the memorial are two pillars and 120 concrete steps leading up to the transmission tower. The National Heritage Board had erected an information board, highlighting the significance of the site. -

War Sites > Labrador Park
The Present
The park is famous for its World War II relics and bunkers. Visitors can experience a chapter of Singapore's past by walking along the history trail. The trail captures the history of the fort and the war. Visitors can also see a casemate (war bunker) and tunnels in the park. Students, especially, will benefit from the educational value of these war relics.
One of the most forgotten and secluded public parks in Singapore, Labrador Park is a wonderful place to spend a quiet Sunday afternoon. The park offers picturesque views of the sea and a rich variety of flora and fauna that will delight nature lovers. An aerial staircase built on the edge of the secondary forest will offer you a prime view of the cliff side vegetation coupled with a panoramic view of the sea. The staircase will take the visitor on a leisurely descent down to the jetty. If fishing is your cup of tea, join the regular group of anglers at the sea walk along the promenade.
Facing the sea in the southern part of Singapore, the resort island of Sentosa can be viewed from here. Near the park is a small stretch of rocky beach. It is rumored that an undersea tunnel somewhere in Labrador park, leads to Fort Siloso in Sentosa. This rumour might have risen from the fact that both locations, housed some British military installations during World War II.
Nothing much to do here except to take in the fresh air and relaxed. Wildlife is pretty scarce here. The rocky beach does provide some interesting roaming. When the tide is low, look out for the sealife that might have got stranded in the rockpools.
Labrador Park is one of the parks in Singapore that will give the first time visitor a truly unique experience.
We'll be exploring the tunnel at the far end of the park...
the one facing Sentosa... -
