Jurong Lake Gardens, built around the beautiful Jurong Lake, allows visitors to experience the natural landscapes and be close to nature. While the northern portion of Lakeside Garden is designed for high energy play and vibrancy, the southern portion of Lakeside Garden has been retained to preserve the tranquility of nature. Here, native wetland plant species such as the Nibong Palm (Oncospermum tigillarium) and Lipstick Palm (Cyrtostachys renda) have been replanted to restore the natural swamp forest habitat that was once thriving in the area.
