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

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
