Yishun Park

Bounded by Yishun Central, Yishun Avenue 11, Yishun Ring Road and Yishun Avenue 4

Take a walk in this park and step into Yishun’s past. Before the new town was built, this area used to be part of plantations belonging to a kampung called Chye Kay Village.

Most villagers worked on rubber plantations, fruit orchards and farms before they were evacuated in the 1980s. To keep a slice of former kampung days, the National Parks Board decided to retain the original trees and vegetation. This 17-hectare park, built at a cost of $2.7million, was formally opened in 1995 by then Acting National Development Minister Lim Hng Kiang. Today, almost 70% of the park is covered in original vegetation. Here, you can find all sorts of fruit trees planted by former villagers; rambutan, durian, jackfruit, banana and guava. At the north-eastern end, you can still see rubber trees from former plantations!
