First thing - the parking is not free on weekend, and there are only limited parking lots in the park itself (probably not more than 20 lots). We reached the place around 8.10am - noticed that some cars just drove out from the park. There was about 3 parking lots available for us.
The park itself is rather small. The main attaction is the ruins of Hainanese village (1930-1980s). There were two main trails - Ruins and Figs trail, and Streams and Ferns trail - making a loop round the park, with several smaller trails branching out from the main trails. All trails were paved, and easily accessible.
Walking through park is akin to walking in the narrow roads of older Kampong. Trees abound, with chirping of birds. It was not that crowded though.
The ruins were attractive, but can be rather spooky though (if the sky were to be overcast, or if one visited the place in late evening).

We spent nearly 2 hours in the park (inclusive of time spent on taking photos).
The ruins are definitely the main pull of the park. The vegetations resemble that found in Windsor Nature Park. It is worth a visit, but probably not for 2nd round.
