Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West

Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West is a community park that is situated opposite Ang Mo Kio Public Library, along Ang Mo Kio Avenue 6.[1]

The park is popular for recreational activities including jogging and a children's playground, and there is a McDonald's restaurant located at the western side of the park and features a drive-thru facility. The park has been designated with the code 9V-0003 by the international Parks On The Air award program, and so is regularly 'activated' by Amateur Radio operators using portable equipment.

History

The park was the second park to be developed for Ang Mo Kio, and was constructed over a 22 hectares (54 acres) hill.[2] It was completed in 1983 at a cost of S$2.7 million, and initially featured an observatory terrace, an outdoor stage and play areas for children.[3]
