The 7 Best Nature & Parks in Queenstown, Singapore
The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Bridging the hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park and Kent Ridge Park, the Southern Ridges combine invigorating exercise with spectacular views across Singapore.

The Southern Ridges connect the following parks: Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, Hort Park, Kent Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve – all of which can delight any walking, photography, and nature enthusiasts. Mount Faber Park is one of the oldest parks in Singapore and probably one of the most popular tourist destination because of the cable car ride. The park is connected to Telok Blangah Hill Park by Henderson Waves Bridge. The park houses the Marina Deck, Palm Plaza, Jewel Box, and Faber Point. The Henderson Waves is my favourite spot. This 899-foot long pedestrian, wooden bridge suspended at 118 feet above Henderson Road, is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore. It connects Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park. It is called such because the bridge has a waveform made up of seven undulating curved steel ribs that alternately rise over and under its deck. The bridge also has shelters with seats within. The Southern Ridges of Singapore is a “fresh air and greenery” personified. It’s probably all that and more. There is something about its great outdoors that gives walking, running a little kick. So when you find yourself in the Lion City wanting to commune with nature, and you want to feel more alive, energetic and optimistic – walk your way to the Southern Ridges.

This attraction has seen its days and is not a top place to visit in Singapore anymore. However , if you have time I would not miss it. This is a park full of colourful statues depicting Chinese mythology and folklore. The part which depicts “10 courts of hell “ is a bit unpleasant and some people might get scared. The other parts are interesting even though some statues are really weird. However if you want some colourful and exotic statues, this place is not to miss. But it gets pretty hot here, so water is essential.

West Coast Park may not be not as popular as East Coast Park but it has several gems to offer. I alighted at Haw Par Villa MRT station and cross the road to take either bus 175 or 176 for only two bus stops. This linear park runs parallel to West Coast Highway and the eastern end is just next to Pasir Panjang Wholesale Market. The eastern part of the West Coast Park starts with one of the largest Dog Run in Singapore. The jogging paths here are shaded by many Rain Trees with their large umbrella crowns. Beside other trees, there are also many Casuarina trees and Bird=nest ferns here creating a peaceful green haven. For a meal, one can dine at the waterfront La Pizzeria, with a breathtaking view of the pier. This little pizzeria within the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club is opened to the public and can access from the park from West Coast Ferry Road. It is closed on Monday and opening hours are limited to only lunch and dinner times. There is also a Mcdonald near to the playground. The Promenade Lookout Jetty juts out of the park’s shoreline, offering a good view of sunset and jetty’s many yachts docked nearby. The spacious Adventure Playground is home to four whole lanes of zip lines. The ground is also all covered in sand to cushion falls and there are also fun orbular space-themed and pyramid-shaped climbing nets. The waterfront offers good sea view on one side and numerous flowering hibiscus bushes on the other side. Bicycles can be rented from GoCycling @ West Coast Park. The waterfront continues seamlessly to a marshland boardwalk where species of birds such as White-breasted Waterhen, Striated Heron and hornbills come by occasionally. The Grand Lawn is a great place for a picnic or a game of frisbee with friends. It is also possible to enjoy Clementi Woods Park as it is linked to West Coast park by the West Coast Park Connecto
