Park exploration is something I like to do with little one. Last week, we went to Bottle Tree Park. This is a special park that does not belongs to National Parks Board. It is leased to
Bottle Tree Park Limited. Now I am writing this with a heavy heart. I just got to know the lease of this 7 ha land is coming to an end. It is hard to find such a place that has a kampung style with so much fun awaiting for you!

| Serene, isn't it? |
 |
| Walking from Khatib MRT, we locate the Park after 10-15 minutes of walking |
 |
| A sealed water well. The back drop reminds me of the slopes of padi fields in Indonesia |
 |
| I just feel nostalgic when I look at this swing! Reminds me of those swings I used to play with when I was young! |
 |
| Fishing pond |
 |
| Prawn fishing |
 |
| My girl was attracted to this LongKang fishing ($10/kid) but she caught none! A kind girl helped her caught 5 instead. A lot of young kids loves to play in this area. |
 |
| A photo with the famous bottle tree which the park is named after. Noted little one had a change of clothes? That's because she fell into the Longkang fishing pond and suffered a slight cut on the knee. |
 |
| We do not know what these were but they looked so pretty |
 |
| Lallang |
 |
| A Lotus Pond |
 |
| Simply breathtaking! |
 |
| This is the first time I see Lotus at such close proximity. I din't zoom my lens, I just put my camera closer to it. |
 |
| A Rustic Kampung (Malay for village) |
 |
| Swan Paddling - only open on weekend after 5pm |
As my girl had suffered a minor cut at the pond, I have to cut our visit short. We have yet to discover the rest of the park. They have plenty of Australian flora besides the Bottle Tree. They also have a mini -zoo showcasing pheasants (not sure whether there are some other animals), paintball field, remote car racing tracks.
 |
| Little one seemed to look sad ,with her drooping head , that she had to leave the park. Exactly the same way as I am feeling. |
 |
| Little one was so enthusiastic about rearing fishes, she decided to decorate the tank on the outside, so that the fishes could see them... LOL |
 |
| Our poor fishes died one by one... My hubby decided to get a mini tank, filter and a pump. Now we are left with one fish. I hope it will survive though. |
I do not know why I have to say so many
bye bye this year and really hated it that I have not discover this park earlier. I could have brought little one to this place for some kampung fun. With this closing after Kids Kampong, I do not know where else can I bring my little one for such fishing. If you know of any such places or if you have experience in rearing fishes, please drop a comment or two.

Thanks, Ai! The cut is healing well! :)
DeleteStill open although now the restaurants are closed.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know that the place is still open to public! Through fb, I knew the bottle tree is no longer there. It was being shifted but there was no mention where it would be rooted..
