Bottle tree park was set up by 3 locals who dreamed of setting up a concept village with sports, recreational facilities, conference rooms, eateries and of coz nature, admist the bustling city. I believe that the idea is appealing to most singaporeans who spend most of our time in a very fast paced environment. It's a nice place to visit if you are sick of typical shopping centres and movie theatres in town. However, I found that it has not differentiated itself much from the other existing nature parks or beaches that we already have.
The highlight of the park are the exotic plants and trees which the owners have bought over from Australia. If I am not wrong, I heard that each bottle tree costs SGD30,000!!! WOW! I wonder if it's hard to maintain! There are a few spots for dining including a seafood restaurant and a pub. The pub is pretty cool. i would like to visit the place again in the evening.
The website boasts of various fun activities avaliable but I didn;t really get to see all of them. We only visited the prawn and fish pond, paintball playing field and 2 tracks for RC Car racing. The fish pond is especially popular amond the kids. It's kinda interesting watching the little kids trayign to scoop up small fishes all over the pond. Ha...
Overall, I feel that it's a refreshing place to visit if you are sick of the typical Singaporean weekend activities. However, my advice is not to allocate too much time for the place. It was actually quite a disappointment for me.
