Free and open 24 hours, 42 hectares and wheelchair accessible. No pets and no fishing
Stay behind the fences and out of the quarry water
Groups over 30 need a permit, applied for a month ahead
Bukit Batok Nature Park next door has the longer stepped walk
Finding it: Bukit Batok Town Park, along Bukit Batok East Avenue 5, walkable from Bukit Gombak MRT. There's no carpark in the park

Before you go
How do I get to Little Guilin without a car?
Take the train to Bukit Gombak MRT, because Bukit Batok Town Park has no carpark of its own. NParks lists the park as open 24 hours and wheelchair accessible, with Bukit Batok Nature Park next door for a longer walk. Pets aren't allowed inside.

Can I fish or bring a group event to Little Guilin?
Fishing is not allowed in the flooded quarry, and NParks lists the same rule for the whole 42-hectare park. A group activity of more than 30 people needs a permit, which NParks asks you to apply for at least a month ahead. Small groups can simply walk in, since the park is free and never closes.
