Kent Ridge Park, Public park in western Singapore.
Kent Ridge Park is a 47-hectare green space in western Singapore with walking trails winding through secondary forest. The grounds contain native trees such as tembusu, acacia, and dillenia alongside fitness zones, sports facilities, and a multi-purpose stadium.
The grounds witnessed fierce combat during the Battle of Bukit Chandu in February 1942 when soldiers of the Malay Regiment fought Japanese forces. The National Heritage Board designated the site as one of eleven World War II heritage locations in 1995.

The grounds are easy to navigate on foot with distinct areas for jogging, walking, and ball sports. Comfortable shoes and water are recommended, particularly if exploring the wooded sections or ascending to higher viewpoints.
From the highest point around 61 meters elevation, visitors gain views across Pasir Panjang coast and the Southern Islands. This expansive vantage point is remarkable for a park in such a densely populated area.
