Quality living environment for Singaporeans
Recreation enhances our quality of life and contributes to our mental and physical well-being. Despite the challenges of balancing the many diverse land use needs in our island state, we have planned for a wide variety of recreational choices island-wide that are integrated into our urban environment, be it in the form of parks, public spaces or attractions.
For example, as part of Master Plan 2008, URA unveiled an island-wide Leisure Plan which showcased a host of diverse recreational options for people of all ages to enjoy – from vibrant and exciting activities to quiet retreats. The plan set the foundation for a 150 km Round Island Route, which is now part of the overall 360 km planned network of recreational routes all over the island, comprising park connectors and trails. The Leisure Plan also mapped out enhancements and improved accessibility to Sungei Buloh and Southern Ridges, which have since been completed. In Master Plan 2019, we featured plans for key recreational corridors at the regional level such as the Rail Corridor, Kallang River and Greater Rustic Coast. These recreational corridors link areas of heritage, biodiversity and recreation, allowing Singaporeans to experience varied settings along the way.
As part of the Master Plan 2025, we are working on a Recreation Master Plan to support more recreational opportunities.
The Recreation Master Plan will focus on three areas:
An Island of Green, Blue and Fun
Discover a variety of recreational nodes and trails islandwide with different experiences for everyone.
Everyday Play-ces
Discover how the Master Plan 2025 will bring everyday play‑ces closer to homes by enhancing parks, open spaces and community areas for sport, arts and wellbeing.
Involving Community in Play
Find out how community feedback has helped shape plans for more everyday play spaces near homes, parks and activity areas under the Master Plan 2025.
Shaping our play together
A series of roving exhibitions was held between April and July 2024 at eight locations across the island to seek public’s ideas and suggestions on selected projects and proposals for recreation in their neighbourhoods and across Singapore. These ideas will be taken into consideration as we further develop the Recreation Master Plan. Check out the recreation offerings in the different regions!
