Join us on the walking tour and explore one of Singapore’s more unusual 20th century modern landscapes replete with vast lawns and lush greenery - recently earmarked for future redevelopment.

Come and relive the exhilarating stories of the sprawling site during its equestrian racing heydays from the 1930s through the 1990s - and experience diverse modern structures including the colonial-era Grandstand designed by Swan & Maclaren, the heroic North Grandstand by Iversen van Sitteren & Partners, as well as well-preserved staff bungalows, workers’ quarters, stables and so on. The specialist tours will be guided by Yun-Ann Lee, a consultant for infrastructure advisory who was one of the primary investigators for the old Bukit Timah Turf Club Heritage Study from 2021 to 2022.
