Sembawang Hot Spring finally reopening soon, says NParks
For those who missed Singapore’s only natural hot spring, the Sembawang Hot Spring (Park) located at Gambas Avenue between Woodlands Avenue 12 and Sembawang Road is currently finishing up its renovation.
According to NParks, the hot spring area will reopen on 4 January this Saturday.
New Pool & Amenities
The updated public park will have a new Cascading Pool, featuring natural spring water that was previously found in the same area.
According to the artist impressions provided by NParks, the pool also comes with sitting so that visitors can dip their legs into the pool which is said to have health healing properties.
Visitors will also be able to cook eggs from the running hot spring water but of course, you have to bring them yourselves.
There will be jogging paths and sheltered walkways in case it rains.
The redevelopment also means there are more amenities for visitors to enjoy the surrounding nature and unwind from the hustle and bustle of the city.
For those who have never visited the hot spring park, this is how it looks like previously. Inside the red brick enclosure is a hot spring well that was discovered way back in 1909.
However, NParks did not state if the enclosure has been removed or repurposed for other uses with the redevelopment.
Guess we will only know when it opens later this week.
Here’s a map detailing the areas and amenities of the renewed Sembawang Hot Spring Park.
