The Pasir Ris Park Maze is an interesting spot to explore the next time you visit the popular park. Can be a fun and old school way for you to test your navigation skills as you make your way around the maze.
Plus, the Pasir Ris Park Maze seems to have gotten a new extension too! Even though it is still “growing out”, it looks like it will be adding to the fun at the well-loved park.
Locating the Maze in Pasir Ris Park
The Pasir Ris Park Maze is located around Area 2 of the huge park. It isn’t too difficult to find with the help of the various signboards located around the park which point the way to the “Maze”.

It was previously closed for some period of time. However, as of October 2024, the maze and its second extension is accessible.
Wooden Entrance to the Pasir Ris Park Maze
The Pasir Ris Park Maze can be identified by a series of weathered wooden frames which indicate the entrance. This is not too far from the Bird Watching Tower at the Mangrove Boardwalk.
At the entrance of the maze, there is a small hedge with some flowers as well as a tree located in the middle.
The entry and exit points are located side by side, except players have to come out of a different lane when they exit from the maze.
But you can also enter in from the wooden latticework and make your way out of other entrances/exits too.
Navigating the maze is not too complicated.
The most challenging aspect would be that the hedges are not very well maintained. This makes certain sections looked like dead ends.
However, probe a bit further and you may find that it is actually a narrow entry to the next section of the maze.
When navigating in and out of the maze, it took us less than five minutes as the maze layout is relatively straight forward.
Perhaps one fun plan to try to find your way to the big tree at the centre of the maze.
Low Maze at Pasir Ris Park
When you come out from the old tall hedge maze, you may be surprised to come across a second low hedge maze.
This second area features metal frame that come up to waist height. These look like frames that should eventually be covered by green plants. Strangely, we have been looking out for the plants to cover the frames for several months. However, the metal frames still seem exposed.
Nonetheless, there are footpaths that lead into the maze and you can take a walk around the various paths. However, do take note that the grass is still quite thick at the moment. We imagine that it will take a while more for the hedges to grow out.
Exploring the Rest of Pasir Ris Park
After finishing the maze, you can rest at the pavilion nearby and explore other interesting parts of Pasir Ris Park such as the mangrove boardwalk.
Overall, this is a fun little mini activity that is suitable for both young and old. Young ones should go in with adult supervision as there are many corners in the maze as well as protruding branches.
It is just a bit of simple fun which you can have when you next visit Pasir Ris Park.
