    I was last here at the end of Feb with the kids. Plenty of space for children to go scooting or bike riding on relatively quiet paths. The playground is normally quite good here too, but on the occasion of our visit it was undergoing repair. There's also some beach access, but of course the water is filthy and there's a lot of rubbish floating onto the shore.

    Though quite far away from the city center, a nice decent place to go and get a good workout done. Great for the people who live nearby.

    I especially go here to log in morning runs.

    Presently construction is going around the area, so some parts are partially closed.

    An off-the-beaten-track kind of trail. One of its kind in Singapore, that really makes you feel that you’re out of the urban sphere.
    If you’re really looking to take a walk and breathe in fresh air while deep in lush greenery, this would be it.

    Recently we did a 3 hours cycling trip aound this North Eastern Riverine Loop in Singapore. The whole park connector network (PCN) connects us to Punggol Point Park, Punggol Park, Sengkang Riverside Park and Punggol Waterway Park. We rented bicycle at Punggol Point Park and started our ride from here. We can detour to the Coney island (Serangoon island) fro the beautiful beaches and jungle. Continue further will lead us to the beautiful Lorong Halus Bridge. We continue cycling on paved walkway between the river and HDB flats. The river is beautifully lined and landscape to provide very pleasant recreational place for the HDB residents. When we reached intersection with Buangkok Dr, we turn to the right and we will soon see Punggol Park. After this we have to go through built up area, crossing many traffic lights before we join back to the riverside. further up the river leads us to Sengkang Riverside Park. A bit further up and detour to the inland along the tributary leads us to waterway Point, a big shopping area and then to Punggol Waterway Park. We have to turn back to the riverside and continue north to reach back Punggol Point Park, our starting point. The whole trip with the detours are more than 30km. This is a pleasant ride and we enjoy the nicely landscaped walkway between the high rise flats and the small streams.

    The Alexandra Park connector is not just a connector for me to walk my way from Tanglin Road to Zion Road. In fact, it connects me to a group of garden enthusiasts at Blk 5 Delta Avenue.

     The garden outside the South-Central Community Family Service Centre (FSC) attracted my attention. The garden occupied two slither plots of land in front of the FSC and seemed to me very well maintained and sculptured with the names of the plants or herbs written on mini placard labels displayed near the plants. 

     One Saturday afternoon, I happened to walk past the garden and saw a group of seniors trimming and tending the garden. I told them I was fascinated by the names of the herbs and plants. One of them enthusiastically brought me around the garden and passionately introduced me to all the herbal plants and vegetables they grow. I came to learn about Black Faced General (黑面将军), the Sabah Snake Grass ( 优遁草), the South African leaves (南非叶) which possess anticancer properties and was also explained the way of boiling them. The entire encyclopedia of herbal remedy suddenly opens up in front of me.

     When Emperor Shih Huang Ti sent his alchemist to Japan to search for the elixir of longevity, he knew that each country has her own ecosystem of unique herbs representative of that country characteristics.  While Traditional Chinese Medicine relied on the 本草纲目 Bencao Gangmu which Li Shihzhen compiled, they were herbs grown mostly in mainland China. Singapore has our own herbal plants which are different from that grow in China.

     While tourists like to explore the physical attractions of a country, I felt excited exploring the native herbal plants of a country.

    Thanks much to this group of garden enthusiasts who open my horizon to a new adventure.

    It was kind of hot along the narrow street, it is 2 bicycle lane widel. Of course, there were cyclist from young to old on bikes and many groups of peope walking up and down. Actually, it felt crowded. Ventilation was not very good. I came here for the novelty of it and definitely not coming back here again. It was not at all a hot day, but it just felt really hot. Bring water and umbrella, if you must come.

    After reading about the Tampines Heritage Trail- Green Space Trail, we started our exploration of this quarry along Tampines Industrial Ave 1. There are a few easy paths leading immediately to the calm water of the quarry. Rainwater had collected in the old, disused sand quarry and transformed it into a lake. This lake is about one-third the size of Bedok Reservoir and is a favourite with anglers.

    Sand quarrying started in Tampines since 1912 and the boom period began in 1960s when vast urban redevelopment resulted in a high demand for sand.
    By 1991, all quarries in Tampines ceased operations. One former quarry was converted into Bedok Reservoir while Tampines quarry remains disused.

    After enjoying the view of the lake, we took the trail to the right. There are in fact many trails and we just used our instinct to walk the trail away from the water. After some distance. we decided to climb up a slope instead of continuing on the easy trail. We were happy to see another easy trail after the short climb so that we did not need to climb down the slope. Finally we saw the two funnel-shaped towers of Tampines NEWater Service Reservoir.
    There are two coffee shops among the row of shophouses in the former Hun Yeang village just next to our exit point. This row of shophouses faces the Tampines Road/Tampines Link. The only bus which passes this road is bus no.72. We walked along the temple clusters to the bus stop opposite Tampines Dormitory along Tampines Ave 10 to take either bus no. 27 or 168 to our next destination, Tampines Eco-Green. We took about 1 hour and 15 mins for our walk at Tampines Quarry.. Some parts were muddy due to the downpour the previous day. Do bring along mosquito repellent for this walk.

    Whampoa Park Connector starts at Jalan Rajah, across Toa Payoh Town Park and runs along Sungei Whampoa before ending at Bendemeer Road. It is 4.49 km long. However, this PC is connected to the Kallang PC at Bendemeer by the colourful Kolam Ayer Bridge. Hence it is possible to walk all the way to Kallang Riverside Park.
    It is cyclist-friendly as there are ramps at both overhead bridges across the PIE and CTE. There are much to see along the way such as:
    1) Under PUB's ABC Waters Programme, the 450m stretch of the river from Kim Keat Road to the CTE has been transformed to provide a rain garden, wooden benches and look out deck. Its aim is to foster community bonding and show how the rain garden helps to cleanse rainwater runoff.
    2) I learnt about the use of Gabions along the canal to allow creepers to grow to soften the look of the canal and protect the river banks.
    3) Blk 26B of HDB St George's Tower has a sky Terrace on the 24th floor which offers excellent aerial view of Sunei Whampoa as well as the distant Sports Hub.
    4) The Bendemeer end has the Kolam Ayer ABC Waterfront which includes a viewing gallery, floating platform, riverside plaza and kayak shed.
    Here the Kolam Ayer Bridge connects the Whampoa PC and Kallang PC.

    Pandan River starts as a storm drain in Bukit Batok that gradually enlarges as it flows southward. It flows through the HDB and industrial estates to a natural mangrove swamp at the end. Pandan River gets its name from the abundant Pandan trees along its banks.
    Initially the Ulu Pandan Park Connector runs beside the river and after the elevated Jurong Circular Bridge, the Pandan Gardens Park Connector runs beside it. My walk continued at Pandan Reservoir ( an elevated reservoir) on a gravel path.
    Pandan Reservoir is built by damming the river’s mouth and provides non-potable water to the surrounding Jurong industrial estates.
    I decided to follow it from a distance on the gravel path. Quite soon across the river is the Pandan Tidal Gates. Two large water pipelines run parallel along the river towards the Pandan Tidal Gates.
    Further up the gravel path is the view of a large water pipeline half-submerged into the reservoir.
    I exited the Pandan reservoir after the Rowing School and walked towards Sungei Pandan Bridge along Jln Buroh. At the platform on the bridge, the last remnants of a natural mangrove swamp ( previously prevalent in Jurong ) can be glimpsed at the mouth of the Pandan River before it runs into Singapore Straits. There are some boats on the river creating a rustic laid back scene. To get back to the Clementi Bus Interchange, there is bus 285 at the bus stop along nearby Pandan Loop. I would recommend this walk only in cool weather as there are no trees on the gravel path along Pandan Reservoir.

    I registered for a medical talk at Ng Teng Fong Hospital at 1 pm in the afternoon. I decided to walk from Alexandra to Jurong East via the Rail Corridor and the Ulu Pandan Park Connector. I had exploited the Rail Corridor on several occasions but this is the first time I am venturing into the Ulu Pandan Park Connector.

    The North Bank of the Ulu Pandan Park Connector starts from Commonwealth Avenue opposite Buona Vista MRT station and branches out from Blk 14 Ghim Moh Estate. When I was working at Ulu Pandan Neighbourhood Police Post in the 1990s, I had performed bicycle patrols along this park connector all the way to Clementi Road. But I was shocked to see today that the facade of the connector had totally changed and the connector now stretches all the way to Clementi and Jurong East. The entire infrastructure has been upgraded and widened and is so clean and modern with bridges connecting both sides of the canal.

    I saw one old matured Bodhi tree with thick aerial roots and I wondered if it was transplanted here by NPARKS as I had not seen one when I patrolled here in the 90s. The connector passes Mount Sinai private estate and there is a side detour route to Dover MRT station where you can access the toilet facilities at the station. I also noticed that the upcoming Dover Forest BTO project will be around this vicinity and this park connector will benefit the new residents. Somewhere from Mount Sinai to Clementi Road, there are covered sheltered walkway on one side of the canal probably proposed by the Mount Sinai residents.

    After crossing the busy and noisy Clementi Road and continued my walk along the connector, I saw two special landmarks along this route. First is the Van Kleef Centre located at one side of the bank of the river. This Van Kleef Centre is a water research facility operated by NUS and the centre is named after the Dutch business man Karl Willem Benjamin van Kleef, whose bequest was used to fund the construction of the Van Kleef Aquarium.

    Further down the Van Kleef Aquarium is the abandoned iron cast black colored Jurong Railway Track Bridge which resembled the Bukit Timah Truss Bridge. The Jurong Railway line was constructed in 1963 to connect the Jurong Industrial areas with Malaysia so that goods from the industrial areas can be transported easily to Malaysia via the railway line. However, over the years, this railway line was found to be underutilised as businesses found it more economical and convenient to use trucks than the train to convey goods and eventually, the Jurong Railway line was demolished in 1992. Remnants of the railway line still remained and found them while walking from the connector to Blk 301 Clementi.

    The reason why I detoured from the park connector to Blk 301 Clementi housing estate is because the park connector was closed here due to a landslide and I could not make my way to Jurong East from here. Thus, I had to ply along Boon Lay Way where I passed the Clementi Fire Station, the Singapore Buddhist Youth Mission temple, Trade Hub 21, Chevrons before reaching Ng Teng Fong General Hospital (NTFGH).

    The journey took me more than 2 hours but I was rewarded with the sumptuous buffet catered at the auditorium by NTFGH and an enlightening talk on Colorectal Cancer by the doctors. It was quite scary to hear that male Chinese Singaporeans topped in global statistic for colorectal cancer. When I asked the doctor what were the contributing factors, she named smoking, alcohol and processed meats but she was quick to add that a sedentary lifestyle is also an important contributing factor.

    Built in the early 1850s, Sembawang Road is the oldest road in Yishun and Sembawang area. My walk covered a small section of Sembawang with its rich heritage. After alighting at the fairly new Canberra MRT station, I walked out immediately into a park connector with delightful yellow leaves trees and other flowering plants along the nature way. I turned into Canberra Lane and reached a green space-the Sendudok Park. Exiting the park and walking along Jln Malu-Malu, I turned right at Jln Jeruju to see the beautiful Sembawang Presbyterian Church with its blue facade. Its outstanding feature is the bell tower. The bells were imported from France and are sound at noon everyday. This church is built on land donated by Mr Ang Oon Hue who was known to be generous to the needy. Sembawang Shopping Centre was also developed by Mr Ang. Besides Sembawang Shopping Centre, many of the nearby shophouses and terrace houses were also built by Mr Ang.

    The road names around here are centred along the theme of story telling in Malay culture such as Jln Salang (the action of driving a keris from the collarbone to the hear), Jln Shaer (a quatrain of four lines with a rhyme), Jln Cherpen (a short story), Jln Hikayat (a legend), and Jln Sajak (a poem).

    Walking along Jln Salang and turning into Jln Shaer, I reached another neighborhood park, Kemuning Park. From the park, there is a small rustic path which leads to Jln Sajak and Jln Cherpen. It is a very short walk along Jln Hikayat to main Sembawang Road. Sembawang Hotspring Park is nearby within a short walking distance. There are many coffee shops and restaurants along Jln Legendi for refreshment stop.

    This is a linear pedestrian walkway stretching from Geylang Road, opposite to Wisma Geylang Serai, all the way to East Coast Road next to Katong Shopping Centre. From the Geylang end, there are 31 community garden plots next to the walkway. Some gardeners are successful in growing the passion fruits, papayas, ladies' fingers while others focus on flowering plants such as orchids etc.
    Another good detour along this walk is the Eurasian Community House. Beside dining option here at Quentin's, there is an interesting exhibition at the Eurasian Heritage Gallery which opens at 10 am.
    Along the way there are some activities panels suitable for young children to play with. This walkway provides an easy path for getting to various locations from Geylang to Katong.

    This linear park lies between two MRT stations, namely the Bedok North and Bedok Reservoir MRT Stations. Both stations are just beside the park. It has undulating terrain with a small mould near to the Bedok North MRT station. After that, it is fairly flat and the Siglap Park Connector runs through it at some part. It is mainly utiilised by the residents for their exercises. It has a playground with sandpit, foot massage course, fitness equipment and a small dog run. The length of this park is beside the PIE but it is so tranquil here.
    My first visit here is rewarded by the lovely blooms of the garlic vine that run down the shelter walkway in the park.

    I started my walk at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Ave 5 and Ang Mo Kio Ave 6. It passes through three educational centres such as a junior college, Nanyang Polytechnic and ITE College Central and connects to several parks/playground such as Stratton Walk Playground, Nim Meadow Park and Ang Mo Kio Linear Park. It is also part of the Coast-to-Coast Trail heading towards Punggol area. It is a popular park connector widely used by cyclists and hikers. Most interesting fact about this park connector is the abundance of flowering plants along the route such as Lantana bushes in various hues, Mexican Petunia,Flaming Beauty etc.
