the greenhouse area

grass too cushy I guess...

I may be your friendly greenhouse, but am ain't green!

more of the typhoon-shewed welcoming signboards, Hort park is next!

one part of the route even passes by the old Depot road colonial bungalows, 1up for privacy!

but everything here is not a zany and whacky...

prior to Hort park is a small little public garden

I just have to get this nice closeup

we love our hort-ners!

a nice view from the pool side restaurant area

theres a proper rest area and snack area in the park as well

yup depot road alrighy!

plants growing out of almost anything

and invisible people having wine!

did I mention neat?

a scarecrow with not crows to scare

the park also snakes along side contrasting industrial areas

hort park also allows you to appreciate shiny stuffs sticking from the ground

and we are off to the treetop canopies!

the height is cool, but not scary enough!

who knows what those evil botanists are brewing in here, killer tomatoes?

this part of the trek sees us back into some small secondary forests again

and nice touches of neat modern architecture

few of the winding meandering paths in the area

some of the various cool night lighters along the floor

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!

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

and here we are finally at West coast park!

there are many other nice oddities on display too...

trees+top= need for relief meaning more uphills!

beyond the ridges lies the "Hort" part of Hort park, thats ... just before the million dollar lawn...

few of the omg! part of the trip! (while I can hear you hillwork runners go yay!)

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!

though I won't label it as a Bt Timah alternative

before arriving at...

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

once upon reaching the top of the park

and poof suddenly here we are at NUS!

something tells me the trees here love to fall...

here, we get the backdoor entry to the park note its proximity to the road!

our journey sees us through more mini forests
