History

Since 1971, the hill has been a landmark in the Jurong region. A look-out tower stands on Jurong Hill, where one can get an aerial view of Town. The hill's adjacent park, Jurong Hill Park, was constructed by JTC Corporation. Within the park is a "garden of fame", so named for the many trees planted by visiting foreign dignitaries. Jurong Bird Park was located on the western slope of Jurong Hill.
It is bounded by Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim, Pioneer Road, Jalan Buroh and Jurong Pier Road.
