Central Park Size and Layout

The “12.7 hectares” figure is often mistaken for a walking distance. This page explains what it measures and uses zones to connect the map, the exits and the features you want to see.

12.7 hectares is an area

The city’s Central Park page records roughly 12.7 hectares. That is area, not perimeter, path length or a circuit of the grounds. We have measured no loop distance and advise against converting area into a walking time.

Think in zones, not one entrance

It helps to picture lawns and shade, water and pond surfaces, plazas and paths, and the edges connecting to the MRT and nearby streets. R9 exits lead to different sides, so choosing the kind of feature you want before choosing an exit is more efficient than wandering afterwards.

Limits of the map and addresses

The city page lists Lane 5, Wenheng 1st Road, Xinxing District, while the Google Maps snapshot lists No. 11, Zhongshan 1st Road, Cianjin District — also the R9 station address. Both are reference points, not a surveyed boundary or the only entrance.

Frequently asked questions

How big is Central Park?

The city page records about 12.7 hectares as an area. We have no measured perimeter or path length.

How long does a loop of the park take?

We publish no measured distance or time; the route also changes with works, events and your chosen exit. Judge from the paths open that day.

Where is the main gate?

This is open green space, so a single “main gate” is not a safe assumption. Use a map reference point and an R9 exit number as your meeting point.

Sources and verification limits

Opening hours, prices, services, events and facility status change. Check official announcements, primary sources and on-site signs before travelling.
