not to mention many playgrounds for children as well!

remnants of the the old Alkaff Mansion

the terrace garden is nice, but not a highlight of today's walk

what we are partly here for lies after some stretches of Telok Blangah hill roads

I spy a dome with my little eye

more of those information, ummm sign thingies

there's quite alot of people here!

wonder where this leads us too..

holly molly! a whole Donkey Kong level!

if saving princesses ain't your cup of tea, there always the earth trail

which runs on ground dirt tracks along with the forest walk

some photogenic shots above

and under!

lined along the forest walk are details and elaborations of vegetation which survived the construction process...

some of the various scenic and high spots of the walk

did I mention HIGH? look down!

don't ask me, I like how this picture was framed

a view of the hill walk platforms from a distance

here are some of the inter-twining areas part of the route

hello I am a dirt track & I miss people trampling on me!

a quick escape route in case any nature calls

a view you never thought you can get in central Singapore... (now is that a starbucks joint behind that tree?)

some of the trekkers on a mission...

some more stainless steel structure porn

the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,

some of the various cool night lighters along the floor

this is the "donate a tree" area of the walk, which showcases few of the longer straight stretches of the walk

one part of the route even passes by the old Depot road colonial bungalows, 1up for privacy!

that dome sites near a depot road slip road

yup depot road alrighy!

a full view of the few high sections of the platform

the height is cool, but not scary enough!

the forest walk ends at the interlinking Alexandra arch bridge

some nice shots of the arch

reflecting in the sun...

view of pasir panjang road from the arch

I spy what lies on the other end?

more of the typhoon-shewed welcoming signboards, Hort park is next!

prior to Hort park is a small little public garden

a very little stand alone garden, which I think is quite out of place thou...

here we are at the Horts!

a park with it's own driveway and address cool!

the hort in "hortpark" stands for horticulture, which derives from the Latin hortus meaning a 'garden' space... ok....

we love our hort-ners!

the built up area has quite few zeny looking areas

a nice view from the pool side restaurant area

some of the few architecturally interesting areas

beyond the ridges lies the "Hort" part of Hort park, thats ... just before the million dollar lawn...

I just have to get this nice closeup

the 1st floor houses a multi purpose function area surrounded by nice cushy grass
