Apart from bigger places like East Coast Park, there are also plenty of smaller community parks to be found in the residential areas of Singapore.

These parks tend to see plenty of activity by the residents living nearby. While they still have tracks for running, people also use them for other activities, such as tai chi. These parks are the perfect place to experience heartland life in Singapore!

Yishun Park

Distance: 1.6km loop.
Explore: Yishun SAFRA.
Nearby Facilities: Restrooms available, parking available at Yishun SAFRA.

10 Top Community Parks in Singapore

Yishun Park has a 1.6km outer loop, but you can stretch that distance by exploring the smaller tracks too. As it was built on an old rubber tree estate, you will see rubber trees, along with rambutan, guava and even durian trees too.

With rock climbing and swimming pool facilities and even an indoor air weapons range, the nearby Yishun SAFRA has plenty of things to keep you occupied too!

one-north Park

Distance: Over 300m.
Explore: Waterwall, Star Vista Mall.
Nearby Facilities: No restrooms; nearest will be at Buona Vista MRT or Biopolis.

Built as a linear green spine that runs through the length of one-north, the one-north Park is built mostly on hilly terrain, and is more challenging than it looks! Located near Buona Vista MRT Station, this park is a great place to try out hill training. Check out the serene 83m long Waterwall, which is also lit up at night.

If you want further mileage for your runs, the Green Corridor is also located nearby. When you’re done, grab some grub from the nearby malls, including the Star Vista (Singapore’s first naturally cooled mall) and Rochester Mall.

Jurong Central Park

Distance: 2km.
Explore: Life-sized versions of Ludo and Snakes & Ladders.
Nearby Facilities: Restrooms with shower facilities available.

Just across the road from Boon Lay MRT Station lies Jurong Central Park, which offers something more than peaceful natural greenery: life-sized board game features in a park! Get your kids involved and play a real-life version of the popular board game Snakes & Ladders or Ludo! There’s also an exciting playground to keep them entertained.

A 2km running track stretches throughout the length of the park, so you’ll also be able to get your running fix here too.

Bedok Town Park

Distance: 1.7km.
Explore: Bedok Reservoir, Bedok Park Connector.
Nearby Facilities: Restrooms and parking available.

Bedok Town Park is pretty popular amongst residents, who frequent it because of the relatively flat running paths. The park is also situated close to Bedok Reservoir Park, which has a serene 4km running track looping around the reservoir.
If you’re feeling adventurous, try taking the 6km Bedok Park Connector that connects to East Coast Park!

Punggol Waterway Park

Either way, you’ll enjoy one of the most scenic spots in Singapore, with some beautiful scenery and chances to glimpse plenty of wildlife!

Be warned that there is little cover from the sun, so slap on some sunscreen to avoid getting burnt!
