ang mo kio town garden west

had driven and walked past this park but have not explored it until today. this is the bigger of the two parks in ang mo kio. you can park your vehicle along ave 6, just opposite the ang mo kio community library. i chose to park at ang mo kio street 12.

as the park was built on a hill, there are at least three places where there are steps to climb. the staircase with the most number of steps - 120 - is the one leading to the pergola and plaza.

as you walk towards the mayflower private housing estate, you will come to an area where some folks are practising tai-chi. just beyond this amphitheatre is the bird singing area.

a discovery is that there is also a lotus pond in this park. it is not a very large pond but it is filled with lotus plants.

one thing lacking in this park is the toilets. the nearest public toilets are at the community library, across the road from the pond.
