## Original article

In 2023, the National Parks Board (NParks) announced plans to rejuvenate 13 parks in southwestern Singapore and collectively link them via curated trails. Of these parks, HortPark, Labrador Nature Park and West Coast Park will be enhanced into Destination Parks – large, regional parks with thematic identities and unique features designed to attract visitors across Singapore. With these curated trails, the public can look forward to a wider variety of experiences along the Southern Ridges and West Coast, ranging from active play to tranquil nature-based interactions, as well as greater access to recreational features set amidst nature.

Public engagement on southwestern parks enhancement works completed

From 2024 to 2025, NParks conducted extensive public engagement sessions, such as focus group discussions, interviews, pop-ups and online surveys, to gather views and insights from relevant stakeholders, such as residents, park visitors and the community, on the proposed enhancement works for the 13 southwestern parks. From over 2,200 responses garnered, NParks developed a draft masterplan that was then shared with the community through pop-up booths across the 13 parks from November to December 2025. NParks engaged around 300 park visitors to seek further feedback on the draft masterplan. Following this, focus group discussions for the three Destination Parks were conducted in January 2026.

Participants engaged on the draft masterplan shared feedback to: 
• Enhance accessibility and park amenities such as recreation options, toilets and shaded rest areas
• Preserve the lush greenery and tranquillity of the parks while enhancing vibrancy 
• Adopt inclusive design that caters to diverse user groups and wide range of activities

Participants also responded positively to the vision for the three Destination Parks and the themed trails that will connect the 13 southwestern parks: 
• West Coast Park’s coastal identity continues to resonate strongly with park visitors as the recreational hub for the western region of Singapore 
• HortPark’s established horticulture and gardening identity aligns with community interests
• Labrador Nature Park's blend of coastal and forest landscapes is seen as a main attraction for park visitors 
• The themed trails that connect the southwestern parks were well received with much enthusiasm from the community

The rejuvenation of these green spaces will contribute to the ongoing transformation of Singapore's southwestern region. This will also complement NParks' Labrador Nature Park Network, the Urban Redevelopment Authority's longer-term plans for the Greater Southern Waterfront, as well as Southern Ridges and Coast Identity Corridor. The enhancements will be phased and progressively completed – works have been completed for King’s Dock Park and Pasir Panjang Park, and are ongoing at Clementi Woods Park.

### 西南部13座公园焕新计划最新进展

2023年，国家公园局（NParks）宣布计划对新加坡西南部13座公园进行焕新，并通过精心设计的步道将它们串联起来。其中，园艺公园（HortPark）、拉柏多自然公园（Labrador Nature Park）和西海岸公园（West Coast Park）将被提升为“目的地公园”（Destination Parks）——即具有主题特色与独特亮点的大型区域性公园，旨在吸引全岛游客。借助这些精心规划的步道，公众可期待在南部山脊与西海岸沿线获得更丰富的体验，从活跃游乐到宁静的自然互动，以及在自然环抱中更便利地使用各类休闲设施。

西南部公园提升工程公众参与已完成

2024年至2025年，国家公园局开展了广泛的公众参与活动，包括焦点小组讨论、访谈、快闪活动与在线调查，向居民、公园游客及社区等相关持份者收集对这13座西南部公园拟议提升工程的意见与见解。根据收集到的逾2,200份反馈，国家公园局拟定了总体规划草案，并于2025年11月至12月通过设于13座公园的快闪展位与社区分享。国家公园局约接触了300名公园游客，就总体规划草案进一步征求意见。此后，三个目的地公园的焦点小组讨论于2026年1月举行。

参与总体规划草案讨论的人士提出以下反馈：
• 提升无达性与公园配套，如休闲选项、洗手间与遮荫休息区
• 在提升活力的同时，保留公园茂密的绿意与宁静氛围
• 采用包容性设计，照顾多元使用群体及广泛的活动需求

参与者也对三个目的地公园的愿景，以及连接13座西南部公园的主题步道反应积极：
• 西海岸公园的滨海特色继续深受游客认同，被视为新加坡西部地区的休闲枢纽
• 园艺公园既有的园艺与园圃特色与社区兴趣契合
• 拉柏多自然公园滨海与森林景观的融合，被视为吸引游客的主要亮点
• 连接西南部公园的主题步道获得社区热烈欢迎与高度认可

这些绿色空间的焕新将助力新加坡西南部地区的持续转型，并与国家公园局的拉柏多自然公园网络、市区重建局（URA）大南部滨水区更长期规划，以及南部山脊与海岸特色走廊相互配合。提升工程将分阶段推进并逐步完成——国王码头公园（King’s Dock Park）与巴西班让公园（Pasir Panjang Park）的工程已完成，金文泰林园（Clementi Woods Park）的工程仍在进行中。
