141 Peace Parking at Labrador Park

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. Identified by the British as a strategic defence site to protect the entrance to the harbours of Singapore in 1843, the park offers 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 storage of ammunition and supplies.

An aerial staircase on the edge of the secondary forest offers a prime view of cliff side 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.

Breathtaking views of the sunset, promenade walks alongside the waves and along the refurbished old jetty into the sea.

The wide pavement fronting the sea is perfect for cycling, jogging, walking and fishing, (garoupa and selar fish).

Short stretch of beach, BBQ pits, jogging track, shelters, nature trails, children’s playground, fitness equipment.
