One of the most unique places in Singapore which offers both a relaxing and entertaining setting is Fort Canning Park. This park has a vibrant history of over 700 years and over this period it has served as a regal seat, a fortress and now, a park.
Fort Canning Park is essentially a hill which is about 60 metres above sea level and is located in the South-East area of Singapore. It was known as the Forbidden Hill by the Malays of Singapore, as they believed it to be the location of regal palaces back in the 13th century. As security was needed to be enhanced in the late 19th century, the hill was turned into a fort and was officially named Fort Canning, which was used as a military base during the Second World War. Today, Fort Canning is a simple and relaxing park with lush greenery and a soothing atmosphere.
Offering a historical and relaxing setting, the park has combined the ancient and historic structures of Fort Canning with the soothing elements of nature. It is an excellent place to spend a quiet afternoon with family or friends, while taking a stroll around the beautiful pathways. The park also has its very own spice garden which delivers the exotic aromas of rare herbs and spices. Due its rich history and scenic greenery, Fort Canning Park has become one of Singapores hubs of art and creativity. It has become a popular place for art exhibitions and literary festivals. The area is also known for hosting several musical events and theatre productions, making it an entertaining and relaxing place. One can even get a glimpse of the history of Singapore by visiting some of the historic sites in the area. These include the Battle Box, the Sally Port, the 9lbs Cannons and the Fort Canning Centre.
