once upon reaching the top of the park
it's like one of the mangrove trail walks, only like wayyy much higher
you will see this the start of the tree top canopy walk
before arriving at...
thats all for that boring walk, our next stop will be Kent Ridge Park!
though I won't label it as a Bt Timah alternative
the land of signboards, carparks and decommissioned tanks!
despite it's proximity to Hort park, the place is only frequented only by regulars or people living around the area
and here we are finally at West coast park!
Kent Ridge (park) itself!
few of the omg! part of the trip! (while I can hear you hillwork runners go yay!)
trees+top= need for relief meaning more uphills!
there are many other nice oddities on display too...![beyond the ridges lies the "Hort" part of Hort park, thats ... just before the million dollar lawn...](../../../../../upload/2008/05/20/20080520004527-dbb1860d.jpg "beyond the ridges lies the "Hort" part of Hort park, thats ... just before the million dollar lawn...

some of the various cool night lighters along the floor
offering rather interesting but otherwise tree-obscured views
the 1st glimpse of our steel trees
the place also spots an offroad trail for mountain bikers and trekkers
though we could really appreciate the shade of a primary forest!
hi I am a sign and I tell no lies, succumb to my directions!
few of the winding meandering paths in the area
and nice touches of neat modern architecture
this part of the trek sees us back into some small secondary forests again
who knows what those evil botanists are brewing in here, killer tomatoes?
and we are off to the treetop canopies!
the height is cool, but not scary enough!
hort park also allows you to appreciate shiny stuffs sticking from the ground
yup depot road alrighy!
the park also snakes along side contrasting industrial areas
and invisible people having wine!
a nice view from the pool side restaurant area
a scarecrow with not crows to scare
did I mention neat?
theres a proper rest area and snack area in the park as well
plants growing out of almost anything
one part of the route even passes by the old Depot road colonial bungalows, 1up for privacy!
we love our hort-ners!
I just have to get this nice closeup
but everything here is not a zany and whacky...
a full view of the few high sections of the platform
prior to Hort park is a small little public garden
more of the typhoon-shewed welcoming signboards, Hort park is next!
the greenhouse area
grass too cushy I guess...
view of pasir panjang road from the arch
I may be your friendly greenhouse, but am ain't green!
some nice shots of the arch
out of place potted plants
