It used to be just a piece of barren land adjacent to the Tampines Biking Trail and Sun Plaza Park. Now, after a period of development costing $3 million, it has become an additional attraction for residents living in Tampines and in the east.
The 36.5-hectares park features a viewing platform, vegetated swales (natural drainage system that traps particulate pollutants), bird hides and green roofs on the rest shelters. Living up to its name, the park was built with an eco-friendly design; all park furniture such as signage and benches were made using recycled and environmentally-friendly products.
Signage such as this one shows visitors which directions to head to, as they navigate through the park. Residents living in Tampines would be able to get to enjoy themselves with a variety of activities to indulge in such as jogging, walking, bird-watching, dragonfly-and-butterfly-spotting, photography and educational guided walks. The park is so environmentally-friendly that even this signage is made out of recycled wood.
A place of tranquility at the heart of bustling Tampines. There are good reasons why the park would be attractive to nature lovers and residents. The park features various natural habitats such as marshes, secondary rainforests and freshwater ponds. There are also about 70 species of birds, 32 species of spiders, 13 species of dragonflies and 12 species of butterflies there. Great efforts were also made to enhance the biodiversity at the park: to attract more animals, trees and plants that produce abundant nectar and fruit as well, as tall grasses, were introduced. Dead trees in the park that are sited away from footpaths were also consciously left unremoved as these serve as vital nest sites for birds.

It’s not that the Japanese food here is not good, it is! But the green tea here is what keeps me coming back. There’s something about the green tea that I can’t put my finger on. That especially aromatic taste and smell is what makes it different from the green tea we usually drink. It stands out. Oh and did I mention, it’s free flow?
