The garden’s core is a large, open lawn surrounding the historic Bandstand, used for concerts and public events. To the east lies the Rainforest Grove, a sheltered enclave planted with native and wide-ranging tropical species, and a popular trail for canopy walks and ecology walks. The Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden offers safe, water-themed play and educational exhibits. Wetland and water features such as the Swan Lake and swimming lagoon provide habitats and scenic escapes. Visitors come for year-round walking and jogging paths, outdoor cafes and cultural events; key access points are from Orchard Road and Newton Circus transit links. The gardens also host historic plant collections, a bonsai exhibition, and serve as a research and conservation site linked to the National Parks Board and NDL Singapore. Expect warm rain, occasional haze, and high daytime humidity; best visits are morning or late afternoon.
