What to See & Do at Choa Chu Kang Park

Choa Chu Kang Park Playground

For families with young children, the main draw of Choa Chu Kang Park has to be its playgrounds… oops, playground. Previously, there were four separate children’s playgrounds at Chua Chu Kang Park. However, three of these have made way for new McDonald’s outlet and the SAFRA clubhouse.

At the southern end of Choa Chu Kang Park, closer to Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, is the Choa Chu Kang Park playground.

It features a climbing net pyramid that can spin that older kids will love scrambling up.

Younger ones are not left out either. There are little train and truck structures that they can play with. There are swings, including little bucket seats for young ones, nearby too.

Choa Chu Kang Park Therapeutic Garden

For those who wish to simply enjoy the benefits of nature, the Choa Chu Kang Park Therapeutic Garden is a little spot where they can relax with the sound of a water fountain nearby.

Fitness Areas

Throughout the park, visitors will find fitness and exercise areas.

---

Skate Plaza

There is a mini skate plaza at Choa Chu Kang Park. However, we suspect that many skaters would have gravitated towards the large skate park at Jurong Lake Gardens.

Stagmont Park Connector

At the northern end of the park, behind the SAFRA Clubhouse, there is the Stagmont Park Connector. This runs alongside the Kranji Expressway, providing a connection from Choa Chu Kang Park to the northern stretch of the Rail Corridor.

Using the Stagmont Park Connector, you can reach Villa Verde Park and its new extension which has a nature playgarden.

Events at CCK Park

Choa Chu Kang Park is occasionally used at the site for events and installations. For example, from 14 September to 13 October 2024, Choa Chu Kang Park was lit up for an “Enchanted Garden @ CCK Park”. This was organised by People’s Association, Chua Chu Kang CCC, Chua Chu Kang Our Home, Love Where We Live and supported by National Parks Board.

A changing set of lights illuminated the trees in hues of red, green, purple and blue in the evening. 

There was a field of illuminated flowers that create a magical vista within the park.

In addition, there were special nighttime performances on Saturdays and Sundays.

So do keep a look out for activities and events in the park.

Archives: From the Past

Here’s a look at Choa Chu Kang Park’s playground before the SAFRA clubhouse was built. These pictures are from Little Day Out’s archives.

At the end of the park closest to the Kranji Expressway, there were three playgrounds, one tailored for toddlers and two for older children.

The toddler playground was a brown-and-green structure with slides coming off the second level. Little rocking seats and a musical play wall catered to very young children.

Older kids got play equipment set in a sand pit with palm tree bursting at the top. Bright orange bars challenged them to cross from one end of the playground structure to the other.

Another set of play equipment near was made from tubular frames. The key attraction is the fun disc swing where kids can swing to their hearts’ content.

The park also had a restaurant, the Rasa Istimewa C2k Restaurant. This was a sister restaurant of the one found at the Woodlands Waterfront Jetty. It served halal zichar food, seafood, satay and desserts.
