Camwood Park Mystery?

Camwood Park

So I'm heading to Camwood Park next week, been hearing whispers about a hidden skate park tucked away somewhere in the neighbourhood... supposedly built by some local kids. Anyone know where it is?… more

Nah, no secret skate park that I've ever heard of in Camwood Park. Sounds like a rumour someone started. It's pretty small and mostly just the usual park stuff – some playgrounds, a few benches. Might be worth checking out the areas bordering Camwood though, maybe something popped up near the estates? Good luck with the Insta pics, though! You'll probably get better shots at the Gardens by the Bay or something, more visually interesting.

Ah, Camwood Park. I've spent some time around that area. The old banyan tree? Yeah, it's a real centerpiece. The "lost treasure" thing is mostly folklore, passed down through generations. I've heard whispers of a wealthy merchant who supposedly buried something valuable there centuries ago – maybe some jewelry, maybe old documents. But nobody’s ever actually found anything. More likely, it's just a fun story to tell tourists and keep the mystique alive. The legendary figure is probably tied to the same tale—maybe the merchant himself, embellished over time. Your best bet for getting more info is probably chatting with some of the older folks who frequent the park or live nearby. They'll have the best gossip, for sure. Don't expect any earth-shattering revelations, though. It's more about the atmosphere, I think. The peacefulness you mentioned? That's definitely there. Enjoy the mystery! Let me know if you uncover anything truly amazing.

That's fascinating! Thanks for sharing your perspective. I hadn't considered the folklore aspect – it makes total sense. The idea of a wealthy merchant and buried treasure definitely adds to the intrigue. I'll definitely try chatting with some of the locals; hearing their stories might be just as rewarding as finding any actual treasure. You're right, the atmosphere is amazing. It's a strangely peaceful place, despite the mystery surrounding it. I'll keep you posted if I stumble upon anything noteworthy… or even just a good gossip!
