History of Jurong Lake Gardens
Jurong Lake Gardens is Singapore's third national garden after Singapore Botanic Gardens and Gardens by the Bay. Lakeside Garden opened in April 2019 as the first phase of the 90-hectare development. The Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden, originally built in 1975 by architect Yu Yuen-Hung, were extensively restored and reopened in September 2024 as part of the integrated gardens. The project is part of the Jurong Lake District transformation to create a major recreational green space in western Singapore.
Culture & Context
The gardens integrate restored heritage landscapes of the Chinese and Japanese Gardens, showcasing traditional Chinese and Japanese garden architecture, pavilions and horticultural art. They serve as a community garden and recreational hub for western Singapore, hosting horticultural displays, community events and nature education programmes managed by the National Parks Board.
