Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is a major urban park in central Singapore that combines landscaped open space, sports facilities and a deliberately naturalised river corridor. The park is noted for a high-profile river restoration that replaced a concrete channel with a planted, meandering watercourse to improve ecology and amenity.

Park users encounter wide lawns, playgrounds, fitness and sports facilities, cycling and jogging paths and several picnic areas. The naturalised river valley provides informal shallow-water areas and ecological planting used for education and recreation.

The park occupies a long linear footprint between the Bishan and Ang Mo Kio residential areas in central Singapore and connects to surrounding neighbourhoods via footpaths and cycle routes.

  • River restoration: The park was the site of a large river-naturalisation project that replaced a concrete canal with a planted, meandering watercourse to improve ecology and flood management.
  • Urban scale: Operates as one of the larger centrally located urban parks in Singapore and links urban residential areas to green space and leisure facilities.

What to See #

  • Naturalised river channel: The central river valley where a concrete flood channel was replaced with a naturalised streambed, creating a sinuous watercourse with planted banks and shallow pools used for informal play and ecology interpretation.
  • Recreation zones: Recreation and open lawns that host playgrounds, fitness equipment and sports fields, arranged along the park's promenades and paths.
