Jurong Bird Park was opened in 1971, making it the oldest of the three main animal parks, but underwent a major S$10 million (US$7 million) overhaul just a few years ago.

The park which is fully landscaped is located on the western slope of Jurong Hill, & can be found within the Boon Lay Planning Area of the Jurong district and has a total land area of some 20 hectares (49 acres).
