Watten Estate Park

I'm sure the Watten Estate locals are trying to keep this one a secret.... sorry!!

Nestled in leafy, Bukit Timah "landed" loveliness is the very shady Watten Estate Park.  Swings... Slides... Sand.... and a flying fox that seems to be out of commission at present!  A really pleasant spot

Because of that wonderful leafy canopy you can enjoy the shade at the park for most of the day, so consider a picnic lunch or walk to the nearby Hillcrest shops.  There you will find tempting pastries at Baker and Cook (billed as Singapore's only true artisan bakery) and the always lovely Bronte... I admit both are a little more upscale that you would usually like...  for rug rats that is...  but give them a go!  Or... grab a takeaway pizza - there are two outlets on Hillcrest - and return to the Park!

HOW TO GET THERE: Turn off DUNEARN RD onto Hillcrest Road and follow it all the way down, past the Hillcrest Shops then take a right onto Watten Estate Rd.  The park is just around the corner.

No MRT (yet) in this part of the world but if you like to bus it the following buses will get you to there ... you'll have to walk the rest.

DUNERN ROAD (get off at the National Junior College/Raffels Girls)
OR
BUKIT TIMAH ROAD (get off at the Chineses High School and take the pedestrian overpass to the other side)
Bus #'s: 66 67 74 151 156 170 171 174 852 952 961 961C


Enjoy a simple morning, or afternoon at the park!
