TAKE A STROLL @ BISHAN-ANG MO KIO PARK, LANDSCAPE AWARDED PROJECT IN SINGAPORE
Hello everybody,
How are you getting on? Hope you stay safe and healthy wherever you are.
Through @crazy-andy and @storiesoferne posts, I got to know the exist of #architecture&design community in HIVE which is interesting and I had subscribed immediately. And also thank you @storiesoferne for introducing and guiding me to join #architecture&design.
Today I would like to introduce you guys an excellent landscape park which was received many design awards such as ASLA Professional Awards, President Design Award, and Landscape of the Year Award at the World Architecture Festival.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is one of the largest park which is located in between Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 and Bishan Road in Singapore. Park size is about 62 hectares with a beautiful 3km meandering river with river plain both sides, pond gardens making it a popular place for residents and families to have leisure activities.
I like to walk to this beautiful park as it is quite near to my house, and the peaceful and beautiful scenery of each zone of the park is very eye-catching.
The well-maintained tracks with soothing babble of river view attracts many fitness enthusiasts from every part of Singapore to this popular park.
Walking along the water canal, there is a beautiful bridge connected both side of water canal to other HDB flats and Condominium residential area.
There has a Dog Running Zone is opened for doggies for playing within this zone.
The flowering trellis are built for doggies’ owners while waiting for their doggies playing in the Dog Running Zone.
The center open field with different type of greenery trees species such as Ficus benjamina, Samanea saman, Sindora wallichii, Tabebuia rosea and many native trees species in Singapore are grown very well. They are planted surrounding the open field and creating the backdrop for the grass field view.
The open lawns and gently sloping grassy banks along either side of the river, the families can have picnic and gathering while enjoying the beauty and tranquillity of the river. The stepping stones on the river is one of the focal points of the park for the park users to step over to opposite side of river.
Many type of seating, day beds, benches are placed well at the good spots for enjoy the beautiful nature scenery.
Soil bio-engineering concept with proposed all the water drainage is built underground which is more nature, ecological and environment concern. The water goes through filtration before goes to the canal to make sure the water in the river is always clean. The overall storm water management is effective and healthy in terms of ecosystem and biodiversity towards a pleasure urban park.
Restaurants in park are well built with tropical planting, creepers, climbers, green wall and green roof that one is selling Japanese food and another one is selling Western food.
Tabebuia rosea, Trumpet tree also called Local Sakura are blooming during late March and early April annually. The jogging tracks in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park are planted numerous Tabebuia rosea tree species. Here is definitely a good spot for photographers to capture the local Sakura views.
Thanks for reading.

Stay safe always.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is one of the largest urban parks in all of Singapore, and it is an unbelievable 62 hectares~ What a wonderful way for people to spend their time, walking among nature. I love the naturalized river wandering through it and all the carefully selected greenery to make it beautiful.
From eateries to beautiful stairways, it is such a wonderful addition to the Singapore landscape.
You posted in Architecture and tagged them and nowhere did you tag #MarketFriday in your post. It needs to be tagged in the post, otherwise, there is nothing to tie MarketFriday to what you are writing. It is a wonderful post and I upvote and reposted it.
As usual, interesting post! I sent you a little extra to your wallet as my voting power is not all that high! :))
I love coming with you when you bring us places. Your posts are always first-rate, with awesome pictures and a well-written commentary! I appreciate your efforts. I sent a little something extra to your wallet for such an awesome post.
I want to thank you for taking the time and effort to post in the #MarketFriday challenge. It is wonderful to see new faces and many of the same faces every week. It has been interesting to see the different cultures surrounding this weekly event. Different cultures. I will always be fascinated by it.
I am sure it is a challenge to try to submit something fresh, or different and I understand not wanting to go into crowded spaces. It is outright crazy that #MarketFriday has survived the pandemic. I just think it is the can-do attitude of all the people. Thank you! Through all of this, we have discovered that we have added a new dimension to the tag. As many have been staying closer to home, we have also discovered more and more about each other, and that has been pretty nice. I have to admit, with the platform broken into different communities and tags, we get to see the same people, more or less that join every week, so we get to know each other a little bit. The challenge points out our differences, but, then, it also shows many things our cultures share. When the day is done, it shows off how human we all are and how we basically all care about our families and others. We embrace each other as humans.
This experience is so heartwarming. I appreciate the love and support given to #MarketFriday! Your participation adds a piece of your world, and I have to say, people are interested in is seeing it. This entire challenge has opened up the world to me and so many others. Thank you again for being a part of all this! I am so happy to see you here! I hope you have a fabulous day! Hive on!!
