Woodlands Waterfront

The northern region of Singapore now has a new leisure destination - Woodlands Waterfront (Former RMN Barracks). The park was designed with community-based events in mind & phase 1 opened up three hectares of the Woodlands Waterfront.

Here's the photo I took for my short 30min first visit to the park...

6 Jun 2010 - Woodlands Waterfront

Although only one-third of the park area has been opened, URA said that the main features are already in place. One is a playground that's not just for children. Youths can also seek thrills at the two-storey Skywalk and crawl through the playground's tree pods.

The waterfront park, which overlooks the Straits of Johor, will also feature a refurbished 400-metre jetty - a reminder that the park used to be occupied by warehouses. The remaining six hectares of the Woodlands Waterfront will be opened by the end of the year, with features like the Catilevered Promenade, nature area, trails and green spaces.

When fully completed, the Woodlands Waterfront will be linked to the nearby Admiralty Park and the park connector along Woodlands Centre Road and Admiralty West. The Woodlands Waterfront will also add on to 1.5km of the 150km-Round Island Route, which allows seamless strolling, jogging or cycling around Singapore.
