Active Garden

The all-new Active Garden embodies Gardens by the Bay’s vision of being a ‘People’s Garden’. Designed to bring together people of all ages and all walks of life, Active Garden is our latest outdoor social hub where there is something for everyone. The perfect playground for the young or young at heart, this is an ideal communal space for people across generations to relax and bond in a lush, waterfront setting. Pets are welcome, too!

The new green space, called Active Garden, spans the size of about 1½ football fields and comprises a community garden, two lawns for recreation, fitness equipment for various ages, a classroom for nature-related workshops and a pet-friendly cafe. The 1ha attraction – which sits along the waterfront promenade facing Marina Bay and is a 10-minute walk from Bayfront MRT station – was officially opened by President Halimah Yacob on Saturday (April 2) to mark the 10th anniversary of Gardens by the Bay.

Admission is free to Active Garden, which was built with the support of the Tote Board. A shuttle service connects Bayfront MRT, Active Garden and the park’s conservatories. The community garden is verdant with more than 50 types of vegetables, herbs and fruit, such as long bean, starfruit and rarer edibles like noni and bilimbi.
