Surrounded by residential apartment blocks, Fu Shan Garden at Woodlands is a typical neighbourhood park, except that it holds a menagerie of dinosaurs, lurking about on the hillock at the centre of the garden.

Fu Shan Garden

Built in the mid-1990s when the Housing and Development Board was conceptualising of public parks as more sophisticated play spaces, Fu Shan Garden was designed to be a themed adventure land to enhance the play experience for kids.
