Been passing by this park (that is located near to Khatib MRT station) daily and the place really caught my attention. From the MRT, I could see uncles fishing by a big fishing pond, and this wooden house on slits at one end of the pond.
Decided to visit this place today. It was hard trying to locate the entrance to the park while driving there.
This place is called “Bottle Tree Park”. It is the second Bottle Tree outlet opened by the Bottle Tree Pte Ltd. The other outlet – “Bottle Tree Village” is located in Sembawang (at the end of Jalan Mempurong).
Both outlets are famous for its Bottle Trees (Brachychiton rupestris) which have been specially flown in from Queensland, Australia by its owners Mr. Alex Neo and Mr. Colin Chia.
Apart from the unique trees, other Australian flora can be spotted in the surroundings. Both the Park and the Village has an eatery is located within its premise serving traditional Chinese stir-fry dishes. (www.bottletree.com.sg).
The eatery is located in this house on slits at one end of the pond in the Park
There is a little pond full of guppies, swordtails, goldfish etc for kids to fish. It is called the “Longkang Fishing” Pond. It cost $10 per kid to fish in the pond and a tank and net are be provided.
Just beside the “Longkang Fishing” Pond is the “Prawn Fishing” Pond. Lots of people with rods were standing by the pond fishing for prawns.
If you are not into fishing, there are other activities in the park too. There is this paintball field where you could engage in a friendly ‘battle’ with your friends with shots of paint.
The park also grows some vegetables which are sold to the public. It’s really an interesting place and I would be revisiting it again 
Where is this place located? Well here’s the map showing its location
