With Valentines coming this weekend, perhaps a romantic picnic in one of Singapore’s parks may switch things up a little. For those of us used to snowy, grey Februarys and 20 degree Celsius summers, Singapore’s weather is a blessing.
Take advantage of this and enjoy the abundance of Singapore’s wonderfully shady, breezy parks perfect for lounging and playing.
Here are 10 parks with great picnic spots in Singapore:
1. With kids? Choose Pasir Ris Park.

If you’ve got kids, this is your ideal picnic destination. With a massive playground, gorgeous sea views and plenty of room to lay in the grass, Pasir Ris Park is totally worth the trek out to the the Far East of the island. (P.S. don’t forget the scooters or bikes for the long, paved pathways along the coast!)
