The Woodlands neighbourhood is no stranger to greenery, and Northies familiar with the area have mostly likely chanced upon Woodlands Town Park East. This tranquil nature spot is nestled amongst a slew of HDB blocks and is home to a myriad of hiking trails, flora, and fauna.

This peaceful park is perfect for outdoorsy folks who want to clock in some laps away from more crowded nature reserves in Singapore. But even if “fitspo” isn’t in your dictionary, you don’t have to worry about burning yourself out as the walk up the 30M-high hill shouldn’t take longer than 15 minutes.

Don’t worry about getting lost as the park has maps to ensure you’re on track
