Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park can be found just beside the Zhenghua Nature Park, next to the estate at Petir Road. The quiet neighbourhood park provides a lush green spot with a rolling landscape for park-goers and residents to enjoy.

Pathways at Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park

One of the most distinctive features that visitors to Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park will notice is its interesting landscaping. The park’s pathways are lined with medium-sized granite boulders.

The mossy, green stones almost reminded us of the trolls from the Frozen movie franchise. We could imagine them coming alive and rolling about late in the evening when no one was looking.

Bridges at the Park

We enjoyed walking along the paths which crisscrossed the woodland hillside. Bridges with wooden rails, spanning a small ravine, added to the rustic feel of Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park.

The reward for visiting the summit early in the day is the sound of birdsong coming from amongst the trees. You can also take in the view of the park, stretched out below, from the higher vantage point.

The Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park Playground can be found close to Block 209 Petir Road. Set under the shade of some trees, the Bukit Panjang Neighbourhood 2 Park playground is set up like an obstacle course.

The two ends of the playground are bookended by orange slides. In between, there are various climbing obstacles such as ropes, bars and hoops that kids can climb through. Children can play “the floor is lava” as they try to get from one end to the other.
