The carpark from harbourfront MRT to the Marang Trail

The start of the Marang Trail

It's a 10-15 mins upward climb through gravel track and wooden staircases

The clearly marked route up the hill. A fast 10-15 mins walk up.

A close up by the canal route

Speed work

Here is the small ramp by cresecnt girls leading to the entrance of this length of the park connector.

Here is the map showing the full length of the route, from river valley to queenstown.

The old canal used to run through this area, will it's all covered by the park now.

Though it's not quite connected to the rest of the park!

All we know is parks built on old canals offer nice long and flat straights!

not to mention funky architecture!

The place can be rather breezy at times

The park is also a family place, with lots of playgrounds littered along the route

Some of nice man made ponds

Here is the only small crossing along the queenstown running stretch

courtesy of the large untouched fields in the area

The park runs close to many of the residential HDBs in the area

Another few of the playground and mini fitness centers

some how I kinda like how this picture turned out!

Few of the micro parks with therapeutic facilities along the route.

The Emergencies Alert Beacon (EAB) functions similarly as a military CAT status indicator which warns of possible thunderstorms

More funky architecture along the route

Another playground, this time a bungee jungle!

There is also a mini skate park near the queenstown end of the park

The 1.2km route from Tanglin road ends here near the old Queentown Cinema.

Multi purpose tracks for running, biking/skating

Here we are at the Alexandra Queenstown Park Connector!

Marang Trail to Mt Faber from Harbour Front Area

Alternative routes up Singapore's only mountain!

this route very much involves the old way up the hill, unless you take the Marang trail route

And here we are are Mt faber in mappy goodness!

the faber walk we will see us through the "Jewel Box" aka the cable care station

nothing new, but hey it's still a good view, yea?

getting yourself orientated is not much a problem with many signs round the area

a short trek through few of the winding roads along Mt Faber

will bring us to one of the highlights of route!

located at the peak of the faber hill...
