    Beautiful, Historic Park in the middle of Singapore

    Fort Canning Park occupies a very significant and strategic location, adjacent to the Singapore River and close to the downtown business district as well as Orchard Road. Once the home of the ruling Malay kings, more recently, during the Second World Way, it was the...More

    Nice environment, with construction sites.

    We visited last Sat morning with kids, it was a pleasant and easy walk. Kind of hot as there is no covered way. Kids enjoyed the small swing and the 2 cannons, took many photos. Giving the prime location of the park, it is really...More

    Nice park and gardens although the museum was closed on our trip.

    Finally got to visit Fort Canning Park this trip and can cross it off the bucket list. Worth a visit if you like parks and gardens but it is very steep and lots of stairs and uphill climbing and in the humidity it's not easy....More

    Historically significant and well worth a visit.

    Fort Canning is where the Englishman Sir Stamford Raffles built his residence which was also used by other residents and governors. It became known as Government Hill until it was renamed Fort Canning in 1861 when a fort was built on the site.

    Very nice walking trails

    Lots of construction. The park could use better access instruction from SMRT. I enjoyed a few hours wandering there and reading the historic contexts and seeing the older buildings

    Better to be armed with the facts rather than a guess. Drinking alcohol in public places, which includes parks, is only banned after 10:30pm so unless you are having a very late picnic, there is no issue. If you do a search... More
