Located at the town’s northern end is Yishun Neighbourhood Park, a hill where a climb is a rewarded with a tranquil open space and where families will also be able to find a hilltop playground.
Yishun Neighbourhood Park is bounded by Yishun Avenues 7 and 2, and Yishun Streets 20 and 22. It has paths leading up to its summit from Streets 20 and 22 and the junction of Avenue 2 and 7.
This hill was once part of an old rubber estate. Instead of rubber trees, nowadays, you will find beautiful plants, shrubs and other trees on the hill.
