Farrer Park, Singapore (30 July 2017)
Farrer Park is a neighbourhood (in local nomenclature, "subzone") within the district (or "planning area") of Rochor, Singapore. It was here that the first racing course in Singapore was established, hence the name of Race Course Road in the area. On days when there were no horse racing, members of the Singapore Golf Club would use the grounds for golf. Both the race course and golf course have moved to Bukit Timah. In 1911, the first aeroplane landed in Singapore at Farrer Park. This was before the airfield in Kallang was built. Ironically, Farrer Park Road is not in the Farrer Park subzone, but rather in the neighbouring Kampong Java subzone, which is in Kallang.
Farrer Park is located in Singapore Postal District 08.
