Since its grand opening on September 3, Bidadari Park has quickly become a must-visit spot for families looking for a relaxing day outdoors. If you’re in the mood for a nature-filled adventure, this brand-new park offers a perfect blend of natural beauty, fun activities, and educational experiences. Here’s how your family can make the most of a visit!
A Hundred Acre Wood Come to Life
Inspired by the whimsical charm of Winnie the Pooh’s Hundred Acre Wood, Bidadari Park brings that same sense of magic and adventure. Kids will feel like they’re stepping into their favourite storybook as they explore the treehouse playground, aptly named the Adventure Playwoods. With its climbing nets, tall slides, and even a zip line, your little ones will stay entertained for hours. There’s even an observation pod that looks like a bird’s nest, perfect for those curious young explorers.

Parents can relax at the nearby Tembusu Lawn, where lounge chairs offer a great place to watch your children play or simply enjoy the serene greenery. With wide, open spaces for picnics and games, the whole family can come together and create lasting memories.
Explore Scenic Trails and Lakes
If your family enjoys walking or cycling, the park’s 5.2 km network of trails will not disappoint. The scenic trails wind through lush greenery, making you feel miles away from the city. The paths are also stroller-friendly, so even younger kids can tag along comfortably.
A key feature of Bidadari Park is Alkaff Lake, a 1.8-hectare lake that’s not only beautiful but functional. It helps manage rainwater and prevents flooding in the area. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll around the lake, enjoying the fresh air and watching the waterbirds. Keep an eye on the weather, though — the lake’s water level can rise during heavy rain, and there are warning systems in place to ensure everyone stays safe.

Learn About Nature and Wildlife
Bidadari Park isn’t just about fun — it’s also a learning opportunity. Bird lovers will be thrilled to spot migratory birds like the yellow-rumped flycatcher and tiger shrike, which pass through the area. Families can venture to the 20m-tall raptor nest platform, the first of its kind in Singapore’s parks, for an elevated view and the chance to spot some of these majestic birds.
For a hands-on learning experience, the marshlands located near the treehouse playground are a hit with kids. The marshes provide habitats for various creatures like amphibians and insects, showing the importance of preserving natural spaces. Your little nature enthusiasts will love the boardwalk over the lower marshland, offering them an up-close view of the wildlife below.
