One of the more exciting development in Singapore that got me really trilled aren't the F1 racing nor those Gambling Dens Integrated Resorts. The Park connectors network & various new trails around nature parks takes the cake instead.
Many have been lamenting for years on why we couldn't have a safe & bicycle-friendly road for cyclist, just like those found around Europe.
Instead of these bicycle friendly roads, there have been a network of Park Connectors & new trails been developed quietly & steadfastly.
I have been waiting for the completion of this particular connector at Alexandra. You seen one of side of the Arch in my previous post. Here is another side. Essentially, this is a bridge that connects HortPark to another part of the trail that leads to Telok Banglah Hill.
The Arch connects to another elevated walkway, which at this height, certainly not recommended those suffering from Acrophobia, I guess. But I can certainly foresee an exciting bird's eye of the surrounding forest to feast your eyes.
This, eventually, goes around, down and then up towards Telok Banglah Hill.
The Arch is officially open on 10~11 May 2008 along with HortPark.
It actually part of the the South Ridges 9km trails that goes from Kent Ridge Park all the way to Harbourfront MRT Station!
How exciting! I certainly will check out very soon!

i love the park connectors. kind for skaters too! it makes it so easy to skate long distances now. i usually use the ecp to changi line. haven't tried this one yet. i should change 'direction' and go west now!
I thought this amazing park connector will only be ready at the end of the year. It's really a lovely surprise to know that it is completed. So soon! Can't wait to explore after seeing your photos.
Cheers!
~imp, hmmm ... this one doesn't seems to be skater friendly. they ban cyclist as well LOLz so walking the only way to go
~mable, do go soon before it gets crowded. i think the best point got to be Telok Banglah hill, since its about the middle, you can go both way easily.
