The 850sqm Therapeutic Garden @ HortPark is Singapore's first public park garden, designed with evidence-based principles to enhance mental well-being.
The therapeutic garden comprises a restorative zone and an activities zone with different benefits for visitors. The restorative zone provides respite and a holistic rehabilitative environment for conditions such as dementia. Examples include easily recognisable landmarks, seats facing different directions to provide various views, and the profusion of plants with colour, texture and scents to stimulate senses. These are complemented by an activities zone where therapeutic programmes can be conducted.
