Need a place to ‘park’ yourself and just search for inner peace? It may not be easy to find a place of peace in a bustling city like Singapore but such a place does exist. Labrador Park is an oasis of tranquillity and natural wonder!
In 1843, the Labrador Nature Reserve was identified by the British as a strategic defence site to protect the entrance to the harbours of Singapore, which the park happens to also offer a picturesque view of the sea.
Nature lovers will be delighted to find a rich variety of flora and fauna, such as the White-Crested Laughing Thrush, the Yellow-vented Bulbul, scurrying squirrels and the regal White-Bellied Sea Eagle.
You can also have a glimpse into the past as you explore the underground complexes used during WWII for the storage of ammunition and supplies.
This is a great place to spend with your kids as Labrador Park is also an informative and educational tourist spot!
Activities at the Labrador ParkAn aerial staircase on the edge of the secondary forest offers a prime view of cliffside vegetation together with a panoramic view of the sea.
Variety of birds (and bird song) including the White-Crested Laughing Thrush and the Yellow Vented Bulbul can also be explored.
