The weather in Singapore is nice and warm for families to spend some quality time and bond together outdoors. I’m a fan of large spaces with plenty of greenery which is exactly what Hort Park has to offer, and more. 

It is a one-stop gardening resource centre that brings together various gardening-related activities in a park setting. Visitors will be pleased to find as many as ten themed gardens, which includes the latest Nature Playgarden designed with pre-schoolers in mind to encourage them to use their own creativity for outdoor play. 

Sign up for the Hort Park Garden Tour if you would like to learn about interesting plants and gardening ideas while being guided through the various themed gardens and display plots. 

Hort Park is really huge place so we usually spend about 2 to 3 hours exploring at a leisurely pace. If you like to soak up the sun while admiring some flora and fauna, I personally recommend exploring the vast Hort Park as a must-do activity in Singapore! 

 

A number of cosy, sheltered spaces are scattered around the park for visitors to cool off and have a break. 

 

The Edible Garden is a functional garden that is made up of Asian vegetables, perennial vegetables and even ornamental vegetables. 

 

Perennial vegetables are edible and only need to be planted once to be enjoyed year after year. Do you know how to identify them? 

 

“Play Mosaic” incorporates the iconic dragon playground of yesteryear and it is now being showcased in a garden setting at Hort Park. It certainly brings back plenty of childhood memories for me where I used to have so much fun playing in sand playgrounds with my friends when I was in kindergarten. 

 

There are nine different play features at the Nature Playgarden, interestingly named “The Magical Woods”, “The Log Valley”, “The Secret Den”, “The Treasure Trail”, etc. Let your little ones reconnect with nature! Avoid entering the area at night or during bad weather as the playgarden is lit by natural sunlight only.
