To make sure we reached even the ulu-est of spots, we hopped into a car to suss out these 11 rooftop gardens in Singapore. We even discovered some only after scouring through Google Maps!

1. Parc Clover @ Tengah Sky Sports Park
Whimsical playground & 300m-running track in Tengah
Finally, Tengah residents can register another win under their belts. The Sky Sports Park, which consists of a playground and running track on the rooftop of Parc Clover @ Tengah’s multi-story car park (MSCP), is the perfect spot for families residing in the vicinity to catch some sun and let the kids run wild.

The little ones will have an absolute field day clambering all about the playground’s whimsical structures, which include lollipop-like trees, a hut that resembles a tree stump, and an oversized frog.

Meanwhile, fitness junkies looking to clock in a workout can do so at the fitness corners, which are equipped with pull-up bars and sit-up boards. There’s also a 300m running track that encircles the fitness corners, as well as a 100m sprinting track where you can smash PBs at.
Address: 306A Tengah Drive, #10-256, Singapore 691306

Over at Bidadari, folks living at Alkaff Vista have a scenic spot to gather at for evening strolls. Located on the 8th storey of the MSCP, the roof garden that connects blocks in the vicinity gives the place a splash of much-needed greenery.
There are walking paths flanked by plants to unwind at, as well as a fitness corner and a playground to keep the children entertained. When the sun’s out, seek some shade at the colourful landscaped roof deck.
Address: 106B Bidadari Park Drive, Singapore 342106
3. Punggol Breeze
Award-winning project with 270m-long rooftop garden in Punggol

Serving as the green lungs of the residents of Punggol Breeze is the rooftop garden atop the BTO project’s MSCP. This 270m-long piece of verdant foliage has helped the project clinch multiple construction project awards, and it’s easy to see why.
It offers marvellous views of the Punggol Reservoir and Pulau Punggol Timor, which should give you a good reason to pop by if you’re in the area. The green space also sports a small community garden, where residents can grow their own produce.
You’ll have to walk through the rooftop garden to get to the nearby Oasis LRT station too, making trips in and out of the neighbourhood pleasing on the eyes.
Address: 618D Punggol Drive, Singapore 821617
4. Kampung Admiralty
“Vertical village” in Admiralty with a massive rooftop community park
Image credit: Greenroofs
Walking into Kampung Admiralty is essentially like stepping into an urban rainforest, with the amount of vegetation that’s been embedded into the development, and we’re not complaining one bit. It’s Singapore’s very first integrated public development that’s specially designed for seniors, with its multiple layers of housing, healthcare, and retail turning it into a “vertical village” of sorts.

While its lower and middle layers play host to a public plaza, food court, and healthcare services, it’s the development’s upper layers that are bound to catch your eye. The rooftop community park has stepped terraces with over 80,000 shrubs and trees, along with an edible community garden tended to by the elderly staying in the area.
Moreover, the park has built-in rain gardens, bioswales, and an eco-pond, all of which cleanse and reuse rainwater, saving about 4.1 million litres of tap water annually. As an added cherry on top, they’ve also installed solar panels and make use of natural wind corridors to reduce the reliance on air conditioning, making Kampung Admiralty a true-blue green development.
Address: 676 Woodlands Drive 71, Singapore 730676
5. SkyVille @ Dawson
Highest garden on the 47th floor
The Southies of Singapore truly lucked out with SkyVille @ Dawson. As much as it serves condo realness, we can confirm that it’s most definitely an HDB.
It’s also got not 1, not 2, but 5 sky gardens, with the highest one perched waaay up on the 47th storey. Needless to say, the views from here aren’t for the acrophobic or faint of heart. Do note that the garden opens at 7am and closes at 10pm daily, out of respect for the residents’ privacy.
The garden’s exterior reminded us of ancient Rome thanks to its concrete pillars, much like what you’d see at the National Gallery.
Address: 86 Dawson Road, SkyVille @ Dawson, Singapore 141086
Visiting hours: 7am-10pm, Daily
6. Punggol Bayview
Waterfront views
Anyone into the outdoors would be well-acquainted with Punggol by now, with its scenic nature spots like Coney Island, Lorong Halus and Punggol Waterway Park. Heck, even its HDB’s have waterfront views as well.
We erupted in a chorus of ooh’s and aah’s right as we got to Punggol Bayview’s rooftop garden, and all for good reason.
Enjoy the breeze and unobstructed views of Punggol Reservoir and Pulau Punggol Timor
I must say, we’re pretty envious of residents who can soak in the views any time, any day they want.
Address: 322A/B, 323C/D, Sumang Walk, Punggol Bayview, Singapore 822322
7. 54 Commonwealth
Urban jungle with “Japan” photo ops
Decked out in lush greenery is 54 Commonwealth’s garden, giving us some major urban jungle vibes.
Commonwealth may be as far as Japan for some of us, so make your trip here worthwhile by snapping some “sakura” shots with the vibrant crepe myrtle plants. You’ll be able to find these pink blooms at the opposite corner of the HDB linkway.
The garden also has an interactive playground that features learning zones in English, Spanish, and French.
Address: 54 Commonwealth Drive, Singapore 142054
8. Toa Payoh Central Horizon
Sky gardens across 5 blocks
Unless you’ve got the inside scoop as a Toa Payoh resident, chances are you’ve never heard of Central Horizon. Stretching across 5 blocks, its sky garden sits on the 12th storey and has a sprawling view of Toa Payoh Central all the way to Novena.
With the hoard of food options the estate has to offer, the garden makes for a chill hangout spot to dabao your food over. Picnic date, anyone?
Address: 79A-79E Toa Payoh Central, Central Horizon, Singapore 311079
9. The Peak Toa Payoh
Community garden with local produce
Set against the backdrop of high-rise HDBs, this green space is the epitome of a “garden in a city”.
Just when you thought we were done with Toa Payoh, it’s back with yet another garden at The Peak’s multi-storey car park (MSCP) that’s worth visiting while in the area.
The residents here have an uber-cute community garden with plants like bitter gourd and papaya
The Peak is also bordered by foodie hotspots such as Creamier and Toa Payoh Lorong 1 Food Centre, so be sure to pop by for a meal once you’re done snapping your photos for the ‘gram.
Address: 138 Lorong 1A Toa Payoh, Singapore 310138
10. Sengkang Coral Spring
HDB rooftop garden right next to Seletar Mall
Sengkang’s younger sister Punggol might have been stealing the limelight as of late, but that doesn’t mean there’s little to see or do at the older estate. Just a stone’s throw from Fernvale LRT station is Coral Spring, with a rooftop garden located atop an unassuming MSCP nearby.
Besides having a stretch at the fitness corner or bringing your pup here for a walk, you can also check out The Seletar Mall for food options if you’re feeling peckish.
Address: 410 Fernvale Road, Coral Spring, Singapore 791410
11. 588 Ang Mo Kio
Family-friendly rooftop garden in Ang Mo Kio
Features like rooftop gardens might seem like a modern-day development in Singapore, making the one at Block 588 MSCP in the mature estate of Ang Mo Kio a rare sight. With its brightly-coloured playground for tots and a seniors’ fitness corner, the garden is great for family time for residents.
And good news if you live nearby – the garden is located right smack in AMK Central, making it a convenient meet-up location if your friends are scattered all over our sunny island. There’s no lack of eateries nearby either, like Magic Kitchen and $1.30 Dim Sum, which are just less than a 5-minute walk away.
Address: 588 Ang Mo Kio Street 52, Park Central @ AMK, Singapore 560588
12. 785 Woodlands Rise
Quiet retreat in the north
If you’re one to savour solitude, 785 Woodlands Rise’s quaint garden is one place that’s definitely away from the hustle of the city.
The estate is situated a tad deeper in the north, meaning you’ll get a pretty unique view of power plants in the distance while taking a stroll here – not something you’d typically see around Singapore.
While it might be ulu, you can take the opportunity to check out some industrial area gems in the vicinity.
Address: 785 Woodlands Rise, Woodlands Pasture II, Singapore 730785
13. City Vue @ Henderson
Sky bridges & vibrant MSCP garden
With sky bridges on the 28th floor, it’s no wonder that City Vue @ Henderson is known as a prime location for catching NDP fireworks.
The rooftop itself features a hard court, playground, and pretty manicured gardens – a peaceful respite to come chill after a long day at work.
The playground also has a flying fox for some nostalgic fun
Address: 96 Henderson Road, City Vue @ Henderson, Singapore 150096
14. Kallang Trivista
HDB rooftop garden with views of the National Stadium & Kallang River
Just a stone’s throw away from Kallang MRT, Kallang Trivista has plenty to boast about. One end of the rooftop has views of the Kallang River, while the other side faces the National Stadium against Singapore’s skyline. Keep your eyes peeled for otters that may make an appearance by the river if you’re lucky!
The residents here also have their own community garden where they cultivate local vegetables and flora.
Address: 8 Upper Boon Keng Road, Kallang Trivista, Singapore 382008
15. 967 Pioneer
“Alfresco dining” on a rooftop garden next to popular NTU haunt
To those in the wild, wild, West, you’re not forgotten. Whether you’re a Westie or someone who has travelled from the other end of the island, Block 967’s MSCP rooftop is a chill spot to visit if you’re Pioneer.
NTU students and alumni would be familiar with the kopitiam next door, a.k.a. “Extension”. With stone tables and chairs dotting the garden, you can get yourself a meal and head over to enjoy the breezy open-air space.
Address: Block 967 Multi-Storey Car Park, Pioneer Road North
Quiet HDB rooftop gardens in Singapore
Our island takes pride in being called a “Garden City”, and these HDB rooftop gardens showcase just that. Most of these locations are fairly easy to get to by public transport, but those getting here by car will have no problems finding MSCPs nearby for parking.
We decided to put our driving skills to the test by renting a ride from Tribecar to bring us around, which made for a fun and impromptu road trip. Check out our full guide to Tribecar.
If you’re visiting these gardens, do remember to be respectful towards the residents by cleaning up after yourselves and minding your volume during your late-night HTHTs.
