This traditional cache is placed in a green oasis with big old trees. It’s a nice respite from the hustle and hustle of the three shopping malls around Tampines Interchange. We usually come here to exercise, get some fresh air, and just connect over conversations. The cache's title also encapsulates our collective childhood memories on how we typically started our chinese essays... which is how the park feels to us! :)
If there are heavy showers in March / April / August / September, you might be able to experience Singapore’s version of the Sakura season - Trumpet Trees in bloom:

You can also try to spot the Tempinis tree where Tampines estate got its name from.
This is one of our older parks in Singapore and you might not experience the newest or shiniest new attractions. What it has, however, is the quirky charm of interestingly shaped structures to rest on or play around with, scattered all through park grounds.
This park is also on the way along the Park Connector network, where the newest stretch just opened not too long ago along Sungei Tampines. Great for a cycling pit stop!
