Southern Ridges Routemap

Sp/Fairfield Sunset Way Canal 5.18km Route

such as sunbathing cradles out of nowhere

Telok Blangah hill have many family friendly facilities such as carparks and event areas

that dome sites near a depot road slip road

thats all for that boring walk, our next stop will be Kent Ridge Park!

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

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

the 1st glimpse of our steel trees

the bridge is open top, with no shelter at all

the built up area has quite few zeny looking areas

the canopy walk is not as popular due to it being quite out of place in the connector route

The carpark from harbourfront MRT to the Marang Trail

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

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

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

the forest walk ends at the interlinking Alexandra arch bridge

the greenhouse area

the height is cool, but not scary enough!

the henderson "sinusoidal" wave bridge is also Singapore's tallest "over head bridge" lol!

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

the land of signboards, carparks and decommissioned tanks!

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

the park also snakes along side contrasting industrial areas

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

the park restaurant is still there and is a Japanese restaurant now

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

the place also spots an offroad trail for mountain bikers and trekkers

The place can be rather breezy at times
