 The pathways inside the park are old roads, that have recently been repaved with asphalt.Located on the west of the park is the Sembawang Shipyard, which was His Majesty's Naval Base (HM Naval Base) of the British Royal Navy from the 1920s until Singapore's independence.The busy and geographically advantaged port in Singapore and the urgent need for a naval base made the British decide to establish a Naval Base in Singapore.
