About Bukit Batok Town Park#

Bukit Batok Town Park is an urban park in the Bukit Batok area of Singapore developed on a former granite quarry and noted for its sheer rock faces and a central quarry lake.

The park’s quarry lake and exposed granite cliffs create a compact, scenic setting that is popular with photographers and local walkers; pathways, seating and lawns provide informal recreation space. The rock faces and still water offer strong reflections and a distinctive contrast to surrounding residential neighbourhoods.

The park occupies a disused quarry site that was landscaped and converted to public parkland as the surrounding town developed. Much of the park’s character derives from retaining the quarry’s natural rock formations and integrating them into walkways and viewpoints.

Bukit Batok Town Park sits in the Bukit Batok planning area of central-west Singapore, within walking distance of Bukit Batok MRT station and adjacent to local residential and retail areas.

  • Nickname and photo spot: Often called “Little Guilin” by locals due to its steep granite cliffs and reflective quarry lake, making it a popular spot for photography at sunrise and sunset.
  • Access: Located within walking distance of Bukit Batok MRT and the West Mall shopping centre, making it easily accessible by public transport.
