Fort Canning Park
nearest Fort Canning MRT

Fort Canning has 9 historic gardens each of which have its unique history and their own unique look to it. There are two main car parks namely at the Registry of Marriage and the other on the other side at the park. End to end is about 1.1km. and very manageable for a leisurely walk. Most paths are very well shaded and each section gives different vantage points and feel to the place.

Artisan's Garden

A pseudo archeological dig site with relics from Singapore's past.
 
Sang Nila Utama Garden
(As many others have called they have found 'Bali' in Singapore)

 

Nice look and feel to the place. This straight stretch has got some fish and terrapins in their ponds.

Raffles House and Fort Canning Lighthouse

You'll catch a view of one of this iconic rain tree which overlooks Funan IT mall.

*Really nice to have random swings around to just enjoy the open space and a view of the city as well.*

There's also a Battlebox military museum tour located there.

Spiral Staircase Photo Spot

There's nothing historical or remotely connected to Fort Canning Park but this photo spot has become a go-to for many. Its located nearest to Fort Canning Car Park B

We walked about 4km plus in total spending half a morning. Toilets are fairly spread out throughout the park. Just about 2hours of exploring covered about half of the park and the major key features which are all visible along the way. Will have to return for the other half and ticketed attractions.

A beautifully maintained park in the middle of town, similar to world heritage site at Botanic Gardens (Click here for full review and tips). Fort Canning Park has quite a lot of picturesque and must go to historical spots. Just a Saturday stroll had two wedding shoots on going.  
ABBATips:
- Lots of nice open spaces but like many parks, mosquitoe patches are highly recommended. 
- No cafes or eateries that I know off located on the park premises.
- Parking at the Registry of Marriages gets you pretty central to most of the attractions.
