Farrer Park, Singapore

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.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
