According to, residential and recreational amenities were built by Jurong Town Corporation from the 1970s to attract more workers and facilitate the expansion of the Jurong Industrial Estate.
As you make a turn into the development, you drive past those imposing steel gates, as though you are entering into a palace. I suppose it was meant to evoke that feeling of entering into a grand park, and along with the landscaping and foliage, it does capture that somewhat well.The entrance is a single lane ingress that will diverge into two lanes upon reaching the Guardhouse, with one lane for visitors and one for residents.
Parc Oasis is now 27 years old, and existed at a time when land in Singapore was considerably less expensive, especially in Jurong, which was still developing as an estate and void of those spanking new malls you see today. Instead, you get a dedicated drop-off point at every block . There are also benches as you wait for your Grab driver to arrive. Very practical indeed! You might also notice that the landscaping here is kept in great condition. Everything is mostly trim and tidy , and the different variances in colours provide a nice respite for your eyes.
It does make for a nice change from the usual scenery, but during the rainy seasons, it really doesn’t offer much more utility other than being a pretty face. I must say I went "wow" when I saw the Clubhouse for the first time — it looks like it was taken straight from a Spanish resort, with those tall palm trees, lagoon pool, orange paint, and overall Mediterranean vibes. Alas, the humidity will remind you that you are in sunny Singapore. But like the photo above , most people might not even think this was taken in Singapore!
Around the pool are also some deck chairs to relax if you prefer not to swim, although the age of the condo is rather telling from them. It’s a similar story with the tables and chairs provided with parasols to shield you from the sun as you watch your children take their swimming classes on weekends.
On the two sides of the pool, there are also five BBQ pits for residents. While that sounds like a reasonable number, they are situated quite close to each other and do not have much seating to boast of. It’s also in the open, so you are susceptible to the weather elements. I definitely wished there were more seats available here.While not in the same area of the development, there are also several other sports facilities which I will mention since we were on the topic earlier.
