Phase 2 of Public Engagement commences November 2025 – January 2026

Enhancing Our Southwestern Parks

Connecting the Southern Ridges

NParks plans to introduce 4 themed trails spanning across the 13 southwestern parks, increasing connectivity across the Southern Ridges. This includes the Nature Discovery trail, Nature Play trail, Community trail, and Heritage trail. The trails are intended to bring new and unique themes and experiences for visitors to the parks.

Wayfinding Strategies

Trail indicators and road markings will guide visitors along the trails, ensuring clear navigation. Consistent signage across the 13 southwestern parks will also strengthen the trails' identity and help visitors easily recognise each trail type.

Nature Discovery Trails

The Nature Discovery trails will highlight existing and enhanced habitats across Singapore’s southwestern parks.

Discover nature’s diversity in Southern Ridges and coastlines

Nature discovery is about showcasing ecological richness, enhancing green connectivity through green spines and corridors, and encouraging exploration and learning.

Nature Play Trails

The Nature Play trails will host an array of play elements for visitors, especially children, to interact with.

A Playful Excursion Across 13 Parks

The Nature Play trails across the 13 parks are aimed at encouraging active outdoor lifestyles.

Community Trails

The Community trails will offer diverse shared spaces that foster connection across various park settings.

Creating Gateways to Neighbourhoods

The Community trails are aimed at enhancing connectivity and accessibility, encouraging social interaction and stewardship, and revitalising neighbourhoods.

Heritage Trails

The Heritage trails will highlight the historical and cultural landmarks across the southwestern parks.

Bringing History to Life, Reconnecting Through Time

The Heritage trails are intended to preserve and showcase cultural heritage, create cohesive storytelling, and engaging forms of exploration and learning.

Enhancement of 3 Destination Parks

Destination Parks are large, regional parks with thematic identities and unique feature to attract visitors from all over Singapore. In 2012, Admiralty Park, East Coast Park and Lakeside Garden at Jurong Lake Gardens (formerly known as Jurong Lake Park) were identified for development into Destination Parks, which have since enjoyed high visitorship.
