Sembawang GRC Woodlands is a planning area and residential town located in the North Region of Singapore.

Located approximately 25 km (16 miles) north of the central business district (CBD), it is the densest planning area and the regional centre for the northern parts of the country.

The Woodlands planning area borders Sembawang to the east, Mandai to the south and Sungei Kadut to the west.

Early Woodlands consisted of villages where residents made their living mostly as small-time shopkeepers and vegetable farmers in the Marsiling area, while rubber plantations and poultry farms dot the landscape at where modern-day Admiralty is located.

Shops, eateries, and commercial zones are evenly spread through the town, with bus and transit routes operating past midnight.

Divisions within estates are being rapidly modernised and modelled for Singapore's standards; playgrounds, communal gardens, sheltered pavements, multi-level parking lots, barbecue-pits, recreational facilities (such as tennis courts) and trees are found[7] nearly everywhere.

With the modernising process outpacing the preservation of its past, Marsiling Park (formerly Woodlands Town Garden) keeps a clear and simple agenda, to bring greenery in the right ambience with the mixture of the local ethnicities.

It is a park situated at a walking distance to Vista Point and consists of playgrounds and running tracks for recreational purposes.

The four-storey public library within the Woodlands Civic Centre caters to all ages and is organised according to themes of general, reference, teens, and children.

Experimental styles of architecture have found their way into Woodlands, making the town a place of wonder and colour, with much integration with recreation.

The centrepiece of the town, Woodlands Square, attracts a constant flow of travellers and shoppers daily.

From newly founded schools to well-established ones, Woodlands has several top educational institutions in the northern region.

Being located immediately across from Johor Bahru, Woodlands is highly accessible, connected by major roads and expressways.

Land transportation in Woodlands is relatively efficient, contrasting by the amount of well-maintained roads, a common sight in Singapore.

Woodlands Avenue 2 is a shorter route from the town centre and older estates to the Seletar Expressway.

Drives are two- or single lane roads built for newer divisions within an estate, similar to that of the streets.

In early days, Woodlands was mostly covered under a single constituency of Sembawang (and in 1988, as a GRC) and parts of Bukit Panjang SMC prior to the 1991 elections.

More commercial and shopping options will progressively be made available in the Woodlands Central, with a future pedestrian mall running through the heart of the district.

More park connectors and cycling paths will be built to connect to the 150 km Round Island Route and Rail Corridor.
