Yishun Park


Yishun Park is a 14-hectare park located in Yishun, Singapore. It is within the vicinity of Northland Primary School, SAFRA Yishun Country Club and Yishun Park Hawker Centre. The park is connected to Yishun Pond Park by an 84-meter elevated bridge.

Description

Yishun Park was developed on an old rubber estate and is thus rich in biodiversity with a variety of rare Indo-Malayan trees, tropical fruit trees and numerous bird species. There are also many rubber trees and fallen rubber seeds in the park.
The park also features an allotment gardening scheme hosted by the National Parks Board.

Yishun Park is bounded by Yishun Avenue 4, Yishun Central, Yishun Avenue 11 and Yishun Ring Road. Take bus Services 103, 804, 806, 807, 812 and 860 from Yishun Bus Interchange. Express bus 850E and Premium bus 776 also serve the park but only during weekday peak hours.
