Sembawang Hot Spring Park
1.8Km from Yishun MRT Station
Nearest parking is at Block 114 HDB Yishun, 300m away
The Sembawang Hot Spring Park has some rich history and has been recently revitalized beginning Jan2020. From bottled spring water, to bath houses during the Japanese occupation and to a free to enter spring park, the Sembawang Hot Spring Park is one of the unique experiences in Singapore for a hot Onsen experience.  
*Takes quite a while to sous vide eggs like this. The place could have had some timing instructions. At 70degrees a google search sets it at 13min30sec or so but that required constant re-circulation of the water (which is very limited due to the taps and space). Any lower temperatures for cooking drags the cook time to an hour. Fun experience but really limited by way of faucets, We had soft boils in the end.*
A unique park to check out and overall fun experience. Just remember these few pointers and ya'll have a great time.

- A bucket or buckets for cooking the eggs or steaming your legs away from the main pool.
- Be careful especially with little ones as hot water is pretty much every where.
- There isn't that much shade available but some folks do bring down packet food to enjoy their lunch as they steam their legs away. 
- Pour the water into drains as pouring directly on the plants to kill them. 
- Great photo ops of Helicopters doing their circuits at the adjoining airbase.
A small eatery and toilets are available on-site. The park isn't that big and one goes there mainly for the 'small' hot springs area. Not a large space for cycling or scooting. Happy exploring!
