War Sites > Labrador Park
The Present
The park is famous for its World War II relics and bunkers.
Visitors can experience a chapter of Singapore's past by walking
along the history trail. The trail captures the history of the fort
and the war. Visitors can also see a casemate (war bunker) and
tunnels in the park. Students, especially, will benefit from the
educational value of these war relics.
One of the most forgotten and secluded public parks in Singapore,
Labrador Park is a wonderful place to spend a quiet Sunday
afternoon. The park offers picturesque views of the sea and a rich
variety of flora and fauna that will delight nature lovers. An
aerial staircase built on the edge of the secondary forest will
offer you a prime view of the cliff side vegetation coupled with a
panoramic view of the sea. The staircase will take the visitor on a
leisurely descent down to the jetty. If fishing is your cup of tea,
join the regular group of anglers at the sea walk along the
promenade.
Facing the sea in the southern part of Singapore, the resort island
of Sentosa can be viewed from here. Near the park is a small
stretch of rocky beach. It is rumored that an undersea tunnel
somewhere in Labrador park, leads to Fort Siloso in Sentosa. This
rumour might have risen from the fact that both locations, housed
some British military installations during World War II.
Nothing much to do here except to take in the fresh air and
relaxed. Wildlife is pretty scarce here. The rocky beach does
provide some interesting roaming. When the tide is low, look out
for the sealife that might have got stranded in the
rockpools.
Labrador Park is one of the parks in Singapore that will give the
first time visitor a truly unique experience.
We'll be exploring the tunnel at the far end of the park...
