Park 's highest point is @Carpark B (61m above sea level). Provides panoramic views of West Coast Park , Pulau Buran Darat, Pulau Bukom & some offshore southern islands . Source: Infopedia

The exercise stations are easiest to access from carpark B, on the southern slopes . Unfortunately, you have to walk downhill to different terraces to use different equipment. Additional workout????

There's a technical single-track mountain bike trail here. For intermediate & advanced levels. Park @ Carpark A and the start of the trail is right in front of carpark

Some of the paths are on elevated terrains. Enjoy the workout

Old-school shelter comes with table. Useful for a group picnic

Great views . There is a connector to Hort Park (and subsequently Mount Faber). The skywalk is nice but short . The skywalk after Hort park is much longer.

Cheen The Curious

Seated views . Many of the benches face southern Singapore. The port , some trees , nothing else ????

Cheen The Curious

Public toilets are located at Carpark B. There's also a water cooler there

Cheen The Curious

Lots of shelter in the park , should the trek or weather be unbearable????

Nice nature park . But be careful to the steep stairs which is also slippery when damp.:-)

Buat anda yang menyukai tujuan wisata tempat yang terbuka (alam ), taman Kent Ridge merupakan tempat tujuan utama untuk jalan-jalan / lari di pagi /bersepeda atau aktifitas lainnya sambil hunting foto

Banyak rute yang diskenariokan, mulai berangkat dari HortPark kemudian berakhir di taman Kent Ridge. Saya lebih menyukai berangkat dari jl South Buona Viesta (yang tinggal dikawasan Pasir Panjang)
