History of Bukit Batok Town Park


JuteVilla
The area used to be a granite quarry before it was closed off. In 1984, The Housing and Development Board had intended to fill the quarry up and build a road on it. Instead, it was converted to a pond since the area had a pleasant look to it. The surrounding areas were also beautified and made accessible by placing granite blocks on the retaining walls and adding footpaths, lights and seating. In 1996, the Urban Redevelopment Authority linked the Town Park and Nature Parks via park connectors to the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and Sungei Pandan to enhance the residential landscape for the area around Yishun and Bukit Batok
