Admiralty Park is a national park in Woodlands, Singapore that is 27 hectares in size.^[1] It is made unique by its river valley shaped hilly terrain. This feature reflects the history of the site, as it used to have Sungei Cina running through it. A path runs along the river and circulates the park.

Much of the park is mangrove swamp. Several boardwalks cut through the mangrove, providing places for observing and appreciating the flora and fauna with minimal disturbance of the habitat. The park works closely with neighbouring Republic Polytechnic. One collaboration has been the Admiralty Park E-Guide, an online guide to the plants in the park produced by students from the School of Applied Science.^[1]

Admiralty Park is also used for sports recreation purposes and to facilitate this there are fitness stations and a running track. Concerts and performances and hiking and nature walks also take place. Wi-Fi hotspots for visitors are provided at locations around the park.

[edit] Getting there

The park is a 15 minute walk from Woodlands MRT Station.
