Things are heating up in Sembawang once again, with the reopening of Singapore’s only hot spring.
The Sembawang Hot Spring Park reopened on Saturday (Jan 4) after a $4.3 million redevelopment, expanding from its original 0.1 hectare to 1.1 hectare now.
The park, which was closed in Aug 2018 for the development works, now features a new cascading pool and a water collection point, with enhanced accessibility for wheelchair users.
There are also educational panels for visitors to learn more about the history and geology of the hot spring park, which is accessible along Gambas Avenue.
Ms Kartini Omar, group director of parks development at the National Parks Board (NParks), said that in designing the park, “NParks incorporated feedback and suggestions from the community from a public consultation in end-2017”.
Among the suggestions were having a food and beverage outlet, an activity lawn and toilets, and ensuring the park remains “rustic and natural”, said Ms Kartini.
