Today

Tucked away in a corner of Chinatown, Pearl’s Hill City Park is a hidden oasis of peace and tranquillity. Built around the Pearl's Hill Service Reservoir on top of a hill, the park is a great place to take a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Visitors can look forward to enjoying the wooded ambience provided by the mature Tembusu trees while basking in the serenity of the park. Alternatively, sit back and relax by the pond and admire the beautiful lotus plants. When in full bloom, the lotus plants provide a brilliant splash of colour across the pond’s still waters.

Transport

There are car parks available at the entrance of the park. The park is a 5-minute walk from Outram MRT Station. Bus services 16, 33, 63, 75, 123, 195, 851 and 970 serve the park.
