Lush greenery, gentle waves, and the calming sea breeze and the open sky (at least as open as it gets here in Singapore). You can take it all in at the Woodlands Waterfront park, located in the North of Singapore.

Woodlands Waterfront Jetty

Officially opened in January 2011, Woodlands Waterfront is a coastal park whose main highlight is its 400-metre refurbished jetty – the longest recreational one in Singapore. It also has a 1.5km waterfront promenade and views of the Causeway and the Straits of Johor.

The ex-naval jetty dates back to the 1920s and has been attracting visitors. This was also where people would come to look over to Johor Bahru when the borders were still closed.

From the jetty, you can look out at the construction of the JB-Singapore RTS Link.


Fishing at the Woodlands Waterfront Jetty

You can grab some fishing gear and join the fishing aficionados waiting for a good catch along the jetty. You might even catch a crab or two.

The jetty is good for an evening stroll; many families with young tots in strollers can be found shooting the breeze along its length.


Land Ahoy

If crowds are not your thing, avoid the jetty and escape to greener pastures.

Jogging, cycling trails and rest shelters weave through the 11-hectare park.

Woodlands Waterfront Promenade

Take to the promenade to enjoy a waterside stroll.

Butterfly corner

There’s a little butterfly corner close to the jetty too.

Away from the bustle of the promenade and playground, the walking and cycling trails and picnic areas are relatively uncrowded, welcomingly less stressful if you have very young kids. Also good to know – there are many rest pavilions with shelters dotted throughout the park.

Sky Walk Playground at Woodlands Waterfront

The centrepiece of the playground is the two-storey-high Sky Walk – a series of six crows nets that are interlinked by mesh bridges which people can climb and cross. Suitable for older kids (and adults who dare), adventure seekers are sure to find it quite a treat, especially when it starts getting wobbly up there.

Sky Walk

On the Sky Walk, kids can burn off excess energy as they play round after round of “Ahoy! I’m a mid-air pirate! I spy an island yonder!”


Eats by the Water

Rasa Istimewa

If you have worked up an appetite, Rasa Istimewa Woodlands Waterfront Restaurant located on the jetty offers homely fare at the park.


Cycling Thrills

Cycling

Woodlands Waterfront is great for cycling. The cycling trail around the park offers an undulating track for cyclists, with a variety of gentle and steep slopes – whooosh! Kids will love these slopes – and interesting curves.

If you are more adventurous, you can take your tot beyond Woodlands Waterfront and venture along the Northern Explorer Park Connector Network (NEPCN). Woodlands Waterfront is a node on this trail which connects parks in the North such as Sembawang Park, Marsiling Park and as far east as Lower Seletar Reservoir Park.
