Completed in May 2015, Yishun Nature Park is a park created to provide neighbouring public housing developments with quality landscaping and greenery. A place for the community to learn about nature, the park was designed using the best principles of sustainability and eco-friendly practices.
Visitors of all ages can interact with flora and fauna in the park and learn about nature and biodiversity. As part of the educational facilities, the park features a children’s nature trail with informative signage that highlights the special plants and wildlife, such as tropical birds, butterflies and amphibians, found in the park. Most of the trees and shrubs are native to Singapore and are labeled to indicate their scientific and common names.
The park also features 16 rain gardens (bioretention basins) and vegetated swale systems, which allow rainwater runoff to be filtered by native plants and local wildlife, reducing pollution and improving water quality. Signboards located at the rain gardens provide visitors with information about their special function in the sustainability of Singapore’s landscape. These rain gardens are certified by PUB to be compliant with their ABC (Active, Beautiful, Clean) programme, and they serve to help flora and fauna to establish healthy communities faster.
The existing mature trees are conserved and enhanced with new infill trees to provide shade and help cool down the whole development passively. Landscape management-wise, more than half the new trees and shrubs are sourced from local and Malaysian nurseries, and soil tests were done to ascertain soil quality. Proper access routes were provided to ensure that the park is well serviced and plants with similar watering needs are clustered to minimize maintenance costs and effort.
Designed with sustainability in mind, ‘green’ concrete made from recycled aggregates is used in the park, reducing its carbon footprint. Also, all the ‘Balau’ hardwood timber used in the construction of the shelters and the trellis come from sustainable forests. Singapore Green Label Products are used wherever possible to ensure that environmental friendly procedures are followed in the facilities used for the park.
There is also ample opportunity for community bonding. The central area of the park has been designed as an events area with a multi purpose court and amphitheatre. Adjacent to the central area are shelter pavilions, children play spaces, as well as adult fitness amenities. Plots for communal gardens are also allocated for residents to actively participate in landscape creation.
