- Two new parks attained Platinum – the highest level of LEAF certification, while one commercial development attained Gold
Singapore, 9 October 2025 – A total of 16 parks and developments were awarded the Landscape Excellence Assessment Framework (LEAF) certification by the National Parks Board (NParks) in the assessment for 2025. Launched in 2013, LEAF is Singapore’s first and only certification scheme dedicated to recognising the provision and management of greenery through good landscape design, construction and management of parks and development projects. LEAF serves to encourage organisations’ efforts to restore nature into Singapore’s urban landscape and bring greenery closer to the community. This also supports ongoing efforts to transform Singapore into a City in Nature – one of the key pillars of the Singapore Green Plan 2030, a national movement to chart our course for sustainable development.
Since its launch, around 119 public and private projects in Singapore have been certified under LEAF. This year, 16 LEAF certificates – comprising two platinum, one gold, six silver, and seven certified projects – were presented across a diverse range of projects, from parks, residential, commercial, as well as educational and civic institutions.
