3. Southern Ridges
Distance: 10km
Singapore’s Southwest region is a treasure trove of hills and huge green parks! Explore the natural beauty in just one long 10km trail called the Southern Ridges – it’s composed of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, HortPark, Kent Ridge Park, and Labrador Nature Reserve. With so many different parks, you can enjoy different types of terrain and views in one route, from trekking through the treetops to strolling on spacious lawns. Besides being home to diverse floral and fauna, the Southern Ridges are also a showcase of our unique landscape design. The award-winning Henderson Wave Bridge, built in a distinctive wave-like structure of wood panels, offers an incredible aerial view of our cityscape. To experience the whole Southern Ridges trail, you can start at either Harbourfront or Kent Ridge MRT Station.
