Fort Canning Park

Attractions

A good bit of green for history fans. There is almost too much to do, despite its puny size: a spice garden, a replica of the first botanical garden set up by Sir Stamford Raffles, gothic-looking gates that mark the entrance into the park, old Christian graves, underground bunkers used during World War II (Battle Box) and an ongoing archaeological excavation site. The Registry of Marriages is also nearby, so expect to see many newlywed couples perspiring in their ridiculously hot suits.

Fort Canning also doubles as an outdoor music venue - click for more details.
