Southern Ridges (Singapore) Part 1 – Kent Ridge Park

Add comments

The Southern Ridges is a group of nature parks which spans 9km from Science Park Drive to Mount Faber. This would include the Kent Ridge Park to the Alexandra Arch which snakes through the Forest Walk to the Henderson Waves and subsequently up to Mount Faber Park.

To get to Kent Ridge Park by public transport, you could take bus 92 from across the Buona Vista MRT Station near the Ministry of Education building. This will bring you into Science Park Drive where it would make a loop back to Ghim Moh Terminal. Align at the 4th stop when the bus turns into Science Park Drive. If you miss that stop, there is another one right after the loop. Alternatively, you could aligned at the newly opened Kent Ridge Station of the Circle Line and walk into Science Park Drive.

My journey to Kent Ridge ends at Pepys Road along the West Coast Highway. During this trip, I did visit the Reflections at Bukit Chandu which would be the topic of another blog.
