Best Places To Fly Drones In Singapore [Summary]
1. Republic Avenue Field
ACCESSIBILITY: Also, It’s easy to reach this field as compared to other fields because it’s located near the Nicoll Highway. You can reach this place by both buses and MRT.
This is one of my favorite spots to fly the drone in Singapore because it’s spread in 2.38 ha or 23800 m2 of land. So it gives drone pilots a lot of space to improve their flying skills. As they need not worry about crashing their drone in the crowd or buildings. There’s a slight chance of crashing your drone if you fly near the traffic and MRT buildings.
2. Marina Mall Road Field
Marina Bay has a lot of other fields but this one stands out among them. It’s spread in 2.55 ha or 25500 m2 of land. So you need not worry about crashing your drone. As it is located in the Marina Bay area, Drone pilots can expect to see some of the best and beautiful aerial views of the region.

This field spreads in 11.80 ha or 118000 m2 of land. If you want to practice in the field where UOP assessments take place, this is the right choice for you.

Flying in this field you can experience the field and, tackle your UOP assessment easily. It’ll also improve your odds of getting certification.

KRF spreads in 4.82 ha or 48200 m2 of land located by the banks of the Kallang River. I love this field, want to know why? Because this place has the best spot for practicing FPV drones.

You can also enjoy the best scenic view in this field and some Hindu temples near it.
5. Marina East Drive Field
Coming back to another field in the Marine Bay area. This field spreads in 4.65 ha or 46500 m2 of land by Singapore Strait. What’s make it different from other fields in Marina Bay?

This field spreads in 2.56 ha or 25600 m2 of land. Basically, this hidden field is situated in between the Marina Barrage field and, Marina Mall Road field.

As additional permissions are required from the respective authorities for flying in that zone.
7. Tanjung Rhu View Field
This is a very small field as compared to other fields in the list as it’s spread in 0.62 ha or 6200 m2 of land. This field is located by the banks of Kallang River and also, it is right across the Republic Avenue field. Not to forget, this field can become crowded on some days. As there’s an area right opposite this field which is used for events for the general public.
ACCESSIBILITY: Although you can reach this place by MRT or buses, my personal suggestion is that you should have private transportation to reach this place. As it becomes a lot easier with it.
8. Marina Barrage Field
