Looking for the perfect way to spend a day in Bidadari?  Whether you’re a nature lover, a parent seeking fun activities for the kids, a foodie eager to explore new flavours, or simply wanting to relax and unwind, this vibrant HDB estate has something for everyone.

Follow our itinerary to make the most of your day in Bidadari:

Morning: Start your day with nature at Bidadari Park

📍 Bounded by Bidadari Park Drive, Bartley Walk and Upper Aljunied Road and Sang Nila Utama Road

Start your day with a refreshing morning walk along Bidadari Park’s scenic trails. As you stroll by the tranquil Alkaff Lake, take in the soothing sights and sounds of nature around you, or pause at the various birdwatching spots to catch glimpses of the diverse bird species that make the park their home.

Tip: Grab a cup of coffee to go from one of the many coffeeshops in the HDB estates around the park, and enjoy it as you soak in the peaceful morning calm by the lake.

Late Morning: Playtime for the kids

📍 Bidadari is home to 12 BTO developments, each with its own playground(s) to enjoy! Our personal favourite is the treehouse playground at Woodleigh Hillside (near Blocks 214B and 215B).

After a relaxing start, it’s time for a little fun! Bidadari’s playgrounds offer more than just your regular swing sets.  With features like play nets, rock climbing walls, and nature-themed scavenger hunts within the playgrounds, there’s plenty to keep the kids entertained for hours!

Tip: Plan a playground-hopping day to experience all the creative playground designs across the estate.

Afternoon: Recharge with a meal at Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre

📍 Block 202C Woodleigh Link

It’s time to refuel! Head over to Woodleigh Village Hawker Centre where you’ll find over 30 stalls offering numerous food options. Whether you’re in the mood for a classic dish or feel adventurous, there’s something here to satisfy every craving! The Hawker Centre is designed to be bright and airy, so you can enjoy your meal comfortably.    

Tip: The Hawker Centre is just one part of Woodleigh Village – this HDB development is designed as an integrated residential, transport and food hub! Head on up to the environmental deck at the 3rd storey of the building to find lush green spaces perfect for relaxation, along with unobstructed views of Bidadari Park.

Late Afternoon: Take a leisurely walk or cycle along Bidadari Greenway

📍 Along Bidadari Park Drive

Burn off those lunch calories with a leisurely walk or cycle along Bidadari Greenway, a 1.6-kilometre green spine that stretches the entire length of the housing estate and connects housing developments to the park. Bidadari is designed to be a pedestrian and cyclist friendly environment – the network of pedestrian and cycling paths running through the Greenway is a great way to explore the neighbourhood, while surrounded by greenery!

Tip: Take breaks in between at the various rest spots along the Greenway!

Evening: Wind down with dinner and shopping at Woodleigh Mall

📍 11 Bidadari Park Drive

Before wrapping up your day, why not indulge in a little retail therapy? Head over to The Woodleigh Mall, which offers a wide variety of retail and dining options. You can enjoy a relaxing dinner at one of the eateries there to cap off a full day of exploration.

Tip: Don’t forget to explore the local heartland shops around the estate – you might just stumble upon a hidden gem or two!
