Fort Canning Park, located in the heartlands of Singapore, is a paradise for history buffs and nature lovers alike.
More than just a huge, open lawn to lay down your picnic mat, the park also has other spots for your alfresco meal. For instance, you can look out for shadier spots near Fort Gate — the remnants of a fortress from the 19th century.
Fun fact: The sprawling lawns at Fort Canning Park used to host events like Shakespeare in the Park and Ballet Under the Stars, prior to the ongoing pandemic.
