Sembawang Hot Spring Park

Sembawang Hot Spring Park is Singapore's only natural hot spring park, located along Gambas Avenue in the Sembawang planning area in northern Singapore. Redeveloped and opened by the National Parks Board in January 2020, the park preserves a natural hot spring discovered in 1909. It features a cascading pool, foot bath areas, an egg-cooking station using 70°C spring water, and landscaped floral and edible gardens in a rustic kampong-inspired setting.

Visitors can expect a compact, landscaped park built around Singapore's only natural hot spring. The central feature is a cascading pool where spring water flows through tiered pools at decreasing temperatures, plus a dedicated foot bath area for soaking feet. There is a communal egg-cooking station where visitors can cook eggs in buckets using piped hot spring water. The park has a Floral Walk, edible garden, sheltered seating pavilions, toilets and paved paths in a rustic, kampong-style environment surrounded by secondary forest.

The hot spring was discovered in 1909 by Seah Eng Keong and became known as Kampung Chong Pang Hot Spring. It was commercially developed in the 1920s by Fraser and Neave under the name Seletar Hot Springs, and later used during the Japanese Occupation. The site remained under military ownership before being returned and redeveloped as a public park by the National Parks Board, reopening on 4 January 2020.

The spring has long been a local community gathering place associated with kampong life in northern Singapore. The park design references this heritage with rustic materials and retains the tradition of communal egg-cooking and foot baths, reflecting local recreational customs around the natural spring.
