The park contains the Beaulieu House, a colonial-style bungalow originally built as a residence for the senior officers of the British naval base.
The park's maritime-themed playground is one of the largest of its kind in Singapore, featuring a scale model of a ship.
The park was once part of the massive Sembawang Naval Base, which served as a critical British military installation in the early 20th century.
The shoreline remains relatively undeveloped, offering views of the waters separating Singapore from Malaysia.
Several mature heritage trees are preserved within the park grounds, providing extensive canopy coverage.
The park is connected to the Sembawang Park Connector, which links to the larger northern Singapore park network.
Sembawang Park is a 15-hectare tranquil green space located on the northern coast of Singapore overlooking the Johor Strait. The park features a natural beach with rocky shores and remains one of the few remaining areas in Singapore with a rustic, seaside character. Its landscape includes heritage trees and colonial-era architecture, notably the Beaulieu House which dates back to the 1910s. The park provides extensive sheltered picnic areas, barbecue pits, and a large maritime-themed playground designed for children. Visitors can access a jetty and paved paths suitable for cycling and walking along the shoreline. The park grounds include the Sembawang Shipyard area, reflecting the site's historical significance as a former British naval base. It is a popular destination for fishing, camping, and outdoor gatherings due to its open coastal layout.

Bring insect repellent as the wooded areas and coastal proximity can lead to high mosquito activity.
Book the barbecue pits well in advance through the official NParks portal if planning a group meal.
Wear water shoes if you plan to walk near the rocky shoreline to avoid cuts from oyster shells or debris.
Avoid swimming in the water as it is not designated for swimming and can have strong currents or underwater hazards.
Maintain noise levels if camping, do not feed wildlife, and ensure all trash is disposed of in provided bins.
