HORT PARK

Description

Officially launched by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong in May 2008, Hort Park is a 23-hectare park which is a one-stop gardening resource hub with gardening, recreational, educational and research activities. It is very popular among nature lovers, the gardening community, school children and people who love outdoor exercise.
