Think Gardens by the Bay and the Super Trees and Cloud Forest that have enthralled us for the past 10 years come to mind. Now there’s something new to add to the mix – a 10,000sqm space with a community garden, lawn and playground meant for all ages. Here’s all you need to know about the new – and free – Active Garden:

If your family fancies themselves a more tropical version of the Von Trapp family, there’s the Musical Playground to go to. Make music together with the jumbo-sized percussion instruments, like a xylophone and drums.

There’s even a Community Garden which grows 50 edible plants ranging from herbs to fruit trees that are cultivated and harvested by volunteers. Drop by for inspiration and workshops on urban farming and gardening at home.
Pack a bento and a blanket the next time you’re headed to Gardens by the Bay. 2 new spaces have opened up, Moongate Lawn and Active Garden Lawn, that are ideal for picnics. And if it’s a breezy day, bring a kite – there’s ample space to run around to get them floating high in the sky.
Look out for this bronze sculpture to get to Moongate Lawn.

Sunny skies are the norm in Singapore, but on the off chance showers come pouring, there’s still reason to picnic at the Active Garden. Just head to the Waterfront Plaza, a shaded pavilion that faces the Marina Bay Reservoir.
