bottle tree park @ yishun


dropped in at bottle tree park today. as i was driving, i went in by lorong chencharu, off sembawang road. there are signboards at strategic points to guide you to the place. it's difficult to miss it. if you take the train or bus, it is more convenient to enter by yishun avenue 2.

saw the crowd and made a quick exit. did not even bother to park the car. the prawn pond, the longkang pond and the fishing pond were all bustling with people. the restaurant was also packed.

it would seem, of the three types of fishing, prawn fishing was the most popular. saw a big crowd at the prawn pond. i suppose on weekends, the longkang pond will attract its intended customers - the children.

the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and the park is open until 12.00 midnight. longkang fishing costs $10, prawn fishing, $14.50 for the first hour and in the case of fresh water pond fishing, for $35.00 you can fish from 8.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.

saw mr neo, one of the partners/owners, supervising the renovation. work is still going on to add other facilities and attractions to the place. the lease for the park is eight year period.
