Bukit Batok Nature Park is a 36-hectare (89-acre) urban park in Bukit Batok, Singapore. It is situated near Bukit Batok East Avenue 2, Bukit Batok East Avenue 6, and Lorong Sesuai.[1]
History[]
During World War II, a site at Lorong Sesuai was selected by the Imperial Japanese Army as a memorial for soldiers who had died. The two pillars and 120 concrete steps leading to a transmission tower are the only remains of the memorial. The significance and meaning of the location is conveyed to visitors through a plaque at the foot of the stairs. The park was later developed on an abandoned quarry site in 1988.
The peak of Bukit Batok Hill stands at an elevation of 107m above sea level. Temperature ranges from 23°C to 30°C during "Winter/Wet" season. During Summer, temperature ranges from 24°C to 33°C.
