Tembusu Park


Tembusu Park is a park located in the Keat Hong
area of Choa Chu Kang. The park is actually named after a plant. Tembusu is actually a large evergreen tree and is featured on the Singaporean 5 dollar bill. Tembusu park started off simple with a few barbecue pits and a playground. The Hong Kah Town Council then improved it by upgrading the playground and building an Adult fitness corner and senior citizen's fitness corner just last year.





If you like to rest at somewhere peaceful or have a barbecue party, this is the perfect place. It is a relatively peaceful place with a lot of greenery. There are barbecue pits just beside the playground so kids can play there while you have a barbecue party. It's a very nice place so go and check it out!
