The southern ridge
In a few previous posts, we already highlighted a few of the nature spots in Singapore. In May 2008 (quite recent) the Urban Redevelopment Authority (Singapore’s urban planning division; self acknowledged sim city folks :-P) opened up a series of parks stretching from right outside the Vivocity shopping mall and stretching all the way West to NUS, where our university is. The park, called the Southern Ridge, features two architecturally distinct bridges and a very nice treetop canopy walk that’s entirely free of charge. This a great budget way to spend two hours to get your fitness walk and commune with nature in our urban city. Perhaps start late afternoon near the Alexandra Arch bridge and end your walk at Vivocity. You’ll be treated to nice views of the city and harbor and a nice sunset, and end up in Singapore’s (current) largest mall, with plenty of eating options to satisfy your cravings.

Practically each time when the SG gahmen wants to promote something, a website is created. The southern ridge is no exception: http://www.nparks.gov.sg/southernridges.html
