Went to Hort Park last weekend. Quite a beautifully landscaped park, but the trees are a little young, so not much shade to cover from the hot weather. So literally, Hort Park is really Hot !
The customer service area. The round stairs lead to function rooms, and there was a wedding held there on that day :)
A nice water area just outside the customer service
Landscaping and decorations outside the function room
The nice lawn area where the wedding was held

What is special about Hort Park is that there are mini-gardens done by the various landscaping companies, think as a marketing tool and also serves to decorate the park. Unfortunately, some of the areas are not well-maintained
The sad state of the hydroponics garden:
What to do with an old spitoon?
Or a broken toy?
How about Plants in Boots ?

Hi paolita!! ^^ is been a while yr visit here ^^
Ya the plants in hydroponics garden had fail, most likely due to the hot whether here.. (avg ard 30C ~ 34C during day time)
I just went there last Saturday, personally feel that the playground area too hot with not much shether or shade, so kids coming in late morning or afternoon would not be able to enjoy themselves at the playground as too hot and the metal riling is like hot pot....
Guess the management nid to do something abt it. |

I think landscaping / gardening companies just put a showcase at Hortpark, without any maintenance. Now it becomes a negative showcase :(
Quite sad to see the hydroponics like that, I thought I could show it to my boy but alas ! Nothing to show except dead plants :( |

They should grow more fruit trees and maybe have a herb garden or vegetable plots rather than so many useless plants.
At least our city kids can see how fruits and vegetables are grown.

Parking at Hort Park can be expensive at $1.20 / hour.
Hort Park is a "see once is enough" type of experience.
I still feel Botanical Gardens is a better and more worthwhile place to visit. |

Brought my 88y.o. grandpa to HortPark last Sunday and he sure enjoyed the visit, especially the vegetation plot, sharing with us how he used to harvest long beans for his mother and what she would cook for the family.

Wow! look so much like my old place, even the banana tree looks the same, I love it. Besides bananas and long beans, what else they have there? |

There is a lot of landscape in Hort Park, although shade is minimal.
Great for your wedding shots. |

There is a cosy pavillion with different plants around it.... he likes it there... took a long break there too, admiring the plants, setup....
I think we had only explore 1/5 of the park! Grandpa likes the lobby, infinity pool, pavillion, the vegetation plot and the fruit trees that he sees.
