Bidadari Park is envisioned as a “community in a garden”. The 13-hectare park is designed to be an accessible, inclusive, recreational space, integrating placemaking and active mobility strategies to support the residents of the local community – humans and animals alike. Carefully planned with active and passive zones, observation decks and pavilions, and over 6 km of trails and activity nodes, the park allows the community to share the space harmoniously with wildlife.
“It is an honor to receive the ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence for our systems-thinking approach, creativity, and the passion of our entire team to make this project a success. We are excited to continue pushing the boundaries of landscape architecture, setting new standards in nature-based design.”

Home to over 193 species, Bidadari Park is an urban refuge for local flora and fauna. With strategic landscaping strategies in place, the park retained 84% of mature trees and added over 170 native plant species, and hosts more than 50% of Singapore’s migratory dryland bird species. Nestled in the heart of the park is Alkaff Lake, a first-of-its-kind 1.8-hectare lake that features a multifunctional drainage infrastructure, capturing and cleansing over 90% of the site’s stormwater through terraced wetlands, swales, marshes, creeks, and a retention pond.
The ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence is a respected honor in landscape architecture, celebrating studios that demonstrate exceptional innovation and impact. Bidadari Park was recognized at the 2025 ULI APAC Summit on the 28th May in Hong Kong. This year’s award winners include projects in India, China, Singapore, Australia, Philippines, Japan, and Bangladesh.
Last year, Rifle Range Nature Park was also awarded the ULI Asia Pacific Award for Excellence for its impact on landscape transformation, ecological regeneration and heritage conservation.
