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 nice touches of neat modern architecture
few of the winding meandering paths in the area
hi I am a sign and I tell no lies, succumb to my directions!

though we could really appreciate the shade of a primary forest!
the 1st glimpse of our steel trees
the place also spots an offroad trail for mountain bikers and trekkers
offering rather interesting but otherwise tree-obscured views
some of the various cool night lighters along the floor
beyond the ridges lies the "Hort" part of Hort park, thats ... just before the million dollar lawn...
there are many other nice oddities on display too...
trees+top= need for relief meaning more uphills!

few of the omg! part of the trip! (while I can hear you hillwork runners go yay!)
and here we are finally at West coast park!
despite it's proximity to Hort park, the place is only frequented only by regulars or people living around the area
Kent Ridge (park) itself!

the land of signboards, carparks and decommissioned tanks!

thats all for that boring walk, our next stop will be Kent Ridge Park!
before arriving at...
you will see this the start of the tree top canopy walk
it's like one of the mangrove trail walks, only like wayyy much higher
once upon reaching the top of the park

here, we get the backdoor entry to the park note its proximity to the road!
our journey sees us through more mini forests
the canopy walk is not as popular due to it being quite out of place in the connector route

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

facing the sea, the place is very airy and windy
Here we have big PUB water bottles
a walk on the upper Kent Ridges of Kent Ridge, get it?
