hort park also allows you to appreciate shiny stuffs sticking from the ground
besides bamboo forests...
such as sunbathing cradles out of nowhere
but everything here is not a zany and whacky...
and nice touches of neat modern architecture
did I mention neat?
out of place potted plants
plants growing out of almost anything
they even have plants mutated into children playgrounds as well!
a scarecrow with not crows to scare
there are many other nice oddities on display too...
and invisible people having wine!
and pink bridges out of nowhere
theres a proper rest area and snack area in the park as well
the park also snakes along side contrasting industrial areas
the greenhouse area
who knows what those evil botanists are brewing in here, killer tomatoes?
I may be your friendly greenhouse, but am ain't green!
hi I am a sign and I tell no lies, succumb to my directions!
and we are off to the treetop canopies!
trees+top= need for relief meaning more uphills!
few of the winding meandering paths in the area
the 1st glimpse of our steel trees
this part of the trek sees us back into some small secondary forests again
though we could really appreciate the shade of a primary forest!
few of the omg! part of the trip! (while I can hear you hillwork runners go yay!)
once upon reaching the top of the park
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
offering rather interesting but otherwise tree-obscured views
the canopy walk is not as popular due to it being quite out of place in the connector route
thats all for that boring walk, our next stop will be Kent Ridge Park!
our journey sees us through more mini forests
before arriving at...
Kent Ridge (park) itself!
the land of signboards, carparks and decommissioned tanks!
facing the sea, the place is very airy and windy
hurray for our west coastline being turned into a container port!
the place also spots an offroad trail for mountain bikers and trekkers
though I won't label it as a Bt Timah alternative
despite it's proximity to Hort park, the place is only frequented only by regulars or people living around the area
Most people will just park their car at the free carparks here and head off the other direction towards Hortpark itself
wonder where that leads to?
something tells me the trees here love to fall...
we exited Kent Ridge park through this pond route, before
argh! walking through civilization (Science park I)
Here we are at the Heritage trail part of Kent Ridge trail (get it? neither do I!)
so as confirmed by the signboard
a walk on the upper Kent Ridges of Kent Ridge, get it?
Here we have big PUB water bottles
