Before you go

Where can I park near Yishun Pond Park?

NParks points to three carparks next to the park: Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Tzu Chi Humanistic Youth Centre and Nee Soon Sports Centre. The park itself is open 24 hours and wheelchair accessible, and Yishun MRT is the nearest station. NParks does not say whether those carparks charge, so check the signs on entry.

What is the Spiral Tower at Yishun Pond Park?

The Spiral Tower is a cocoon-shaped, 14.5m-tall lookout inspired by the butterfly's lifecycle, and it gives panoramic views of the park. A bridge from the tower leads across to Yishun Park, so you can turn a pond visit into a longer walk.

When is the best time for birds at Yishun Pond Park?

Go early in the morning, because NParks says the white-bellied sea eagle is spotted more commonly then. The pond attracts herons, egrets and migratory birds, which tend to perch on the floating wetland islands. Keep your distance and your voice down, since NParks asks visitors to admire wildlife from afar.
