5 Best Places to Go for a Picnic in Singapore
- Last updated: Mar 28, 2024
As things are getting back to normal and beaches and parks are open again, it is time to relax and enjoy. Forget about jostling for a table in a trendy downtown cafe. When the weather is nice, it's time to pack some snacks and find a space in one of Singapore's best parks.
Grab a sumptuous picnic basket that comes pre-packed with all the scrumptious finger liking food you need if you're not in the mood to put together a take-out feast. All you have to do is place an order, stop by to pick it up, and you're good to go. We've found some of the best places to picnic that are not remote, have shaded areas, and, most notably, are close to the restrooms (but not too near).
1) Coney Island
Even before your picnic actually starts, you are going to have a great adventure making your way up to Coney Island. The good news is you can go to the island by foot or on wheels instead of a ferry, so all you need is a pair of reliable walking shoes.
This park is also environmentally sustainable. It uses timber from fallen trees for all of the park's signage, benches, and the boardwalk over the mangrove swamp. Moreover, everything on the island, except secluded beaches and wildlife, is preserved and kept rustic and as it is.
If you are a beach lover, then the best picnic spot for you will be Coney Island's West promenade, where there's a stretch of steps extending down into the sea. From here, you will have a clear view of the water, Pulau Ubin, and the distant ships. Plus, you won't have to worry about sand getting into your feet or clothes. However, if you want even more privacy, head east to Beach Area D or E.
2) West Coast Park
This huge West Coast Park, with its 123.5 acres of open area, is an awesome place for fun with family (and a whole lot of adventure!). The exciting playground, which includes a flying fox, slides, pyramids for rock climbing, and swings, is a hit with the kids. While you relax on the lush green grass, let your kids have the best time of their life in this adventure playground.
If the exercise garden, cycling tracks, obstacle course, mangrove swamp, ponds, ocean promenade, and sandy play area aren't enough to keep the kids entertained, there are also BBQ pits for rent and lots of benches to sit on and enjoy. If you love the sea, then Area 3 is your best pick because it faces the sea, has a lot of shady spaces, and is accessible to both restroom facilities and food.
3) Jurong Lake Gardens
keep yourself surrounded by the beautiful flora and fauna in Asia's largest nature wonderland, Jurong Lake Gardens in Singapore. This garden is spread over 90 hectares of area. You can come here with your family and friends to spend quality time together in this beautiful landscape.
The Lakeside Field and The Oval are large grassy grounds where you can set up your picnic basket. The Rasau Walk and Grassland, play areas like Clusia Cove and Forest Ramble, are also local scenic attractions. Barbecue pits are also available, so what are you waiting for? Head to Jurong Lake Gardens with the pork chops today!
4) Bishan – Ang Mo Kio Park
Bishan-AMK Park offers lovely scenery for the picture-perfect picnic in Singapore, with babbling brooks, pond gardens, and gorgeous bridges that seem to come right out of a Monet painting. It's also one of the country's largest metropolitan parks, where you will get a chance to get away from the crowded city life and enjoy the calmness around you.
Another great benefit of feasting in this park is for kids who are differently-abled. The park's inclusive playground, which includes wheelchair swings, and a wheelchair-accessible merry-go-round, is fantastic for kids of all abilities. Though this park has a lot of grassy areas, the only downside is that it has few picnic tables, so make sure to bring a picnic blanket with you!
5) Singapore Botanic Gardens
There are several excellent picnic sites at these Botanic Gardens, but Palm Valley — the seemingly endless stretch of grass between the Shaw Symphony Stage and the National Orchid Garden– is the most popular. We are in love with the vast lawns around Eco Lake, the chairs and swings near the fragrant Frangipani Garden and the Bandstand, the sloping lawn near the Tembusu Heritage Tree, and it goes on!
In addition to its lovely sites, the Botanic Gardens also have meticulously placed bathrooms stalls and wonderful picnic food-to-go shops. Overall this is a perfect place for family picnics.
Conclusion
After long and tiresome weekdays, when the weekend hits, it is time to get out and dine in these beautiful outdoor picnic spots! As you munch on a picnic basket with your loved ones, take in the lush scenery and fresh air.
