If you’re planning to take a trip to Western Singapore, there’s a nature spot you have to add to your list - Jurong Lake Gardens! Opened in April 2019, the 90-hectare garden is Singapore’s newest national garden after Singapore Botanic Gardens and Gardens by the Bay. With scenic landscapes, nature boardwalks and play areas, Jurong Lake Gardens is perfect for exploring with fellow sports enthusiasts or your family! Here’s an all-in-one guide to Jurong Lake Gardens ?
If you’re arriving at Jurong Lake Gardens from Lakeside MRT Station, you’ll be greeted with a scenic boardwalk which stretches over the lake ? Take a walk among marshes here and if you’re lucky, you might even be able to spot some wildlife like otters or monitor lizards. While you’re taking in the stunning sights of the lake, you’ll also get to learn more about Jurong Lake through the signboards. Did you know that the lake was formed by damming Sungei Jurong?
With the magnificent scenery, the boardwalk is also a great spot for you to stop and take a break. It was definitely one of our favourite spots while we were there ?
