Developed on an old rubber estate, Yishun Park features a hill with natural vegetation. A SAFRA clubhouse is within the park. You can see tropical fruit trees such as durain, rambutan, guava and banana on the grassy knoll.

Facilities such as a children's playground, fitness stations, a recreational corner, bicycle tracks, and a Chinese Chess Board Plaza are provided.

For the unique 600-sqm Chinese Chess Board Plaza, the ground is painted to resemble a large chess board with tables and benches representing chess pieces. The top of the tables are painted with Chinese characters and park visitors interested in these games can engage themselves in their favourite pastime amidst serene surroundings.

Located at the heart of the Yishun Housing Estate, Yishun Park was the site of a former rubber plantation. In the 1920s, this was also the site of Chye Kay village the inhabitants of which were mainly rubber tappers. Besides tapping rubber most of these frugal hardworking people also reared poultry and grew fruit trees for home consumption.

The site was rich in natural vegetation, by retaining most of the natural vegetation in the central part of the park, to provide the much needed contrast to the manicured and landscaped areas of the surrounding HDB housing estate. We can still see some old rubber trees and fruit trees in this area, a stark reminder of all the remains of the frugal and hardworking people of Chye Kay village who once lived here.
