I last walked this trail about a year ago. It is so refreshing and enjoyable to walk this trail again, I started at Chestnut North Trail end and walked towards Mandai Road. It is fascinating to encounter the many short natural tunnels created by the simpoh air plants. There is also a bamboo grove tunnel nearer to the Mandai Road end. The trail is occasionally rocky at times and this further adds to the charm of this trail. However this trail is shared by the cyclists and hikers so need to be more aware of the cyclists when walking here. I took slightly more than an hour to walk this trail. This trail is also known as the Gangsa Trail followed by the Central Catchment Park Connector.

This listing is for Pasir Ris Park and not the adjacent Pasir Ris Town Park. The location on trip advisors map is correct and covers the long expanse of park stretching the whole width of the coast at Pasir Ris. It’s a wonderful park for all the family. Children’s play areas, restaurants with views of the ocean complete with a wonderful sea breeze. Ocean going vessels ply their way to and from Pasir Gudang Port. So many birds to be seen including the pied hornbill. Snakes are a common sight in the well constructed mangrove broadwalk. Herons are numerous. If your keen on nature don’t forget your telephoto lens. Plenty of place for jogging, cycling or just walking. The Sungei Api Api and Sungei Tampines run through the park. Plenty of picnic spots with fabulous views. A great day out awaits you at Pasir Ris Park. Relax and enjoy - this park has something for everyone.

I rented a bike from Waterway Bike shop at the SAFRA building. This is a neighborhood park, not exactly a tourist attraction. Nevertheless, I wanted to see more of Singapore than the downtown fancy tourist attractions. I hopped on the train (so easy here) to Punggol and walked to the SAFRA and rode for about 45 minutes to see a little more of the park. There are high rise apartments scattered around...yes, it's apartment living, but this beautiful park is your back yard ! I also did a loop on the LRT above ground train to get an overview. Worth it. Back to the mall to catch some AC and cool off for the ride back to Raffles Quay.

Take “bumboats” to the island from Changi Point Ferry Terminal. The prices have risen since the circuit breaker. I guess it’s a COVID tax? It’s now $4 per person, and $2 for each bike each way, supposedly because of “social distancing.” If you see our boat pic below, we are paying for the social distancing but not ACTUALLY getting the distancing part!! Seems like just a way to squeeze more money out of customers without actually caring about social distancing. The loop from the boat dock to the trail around the quarry and back is approximately 15K, depending if you want to take the blue square trails on the way to the black diamond trails around the backside of the quarry. While you could theoretically ride the more difficult trails with a rental, they’re slightly challenging and can be dangerous. Lots of rocks, steep climbs/ascents, and roots. This isn’t the place to ride above your skill level. Although everything is relative. Anywhere else in the world these trails would not be black diamond, and certainly not double black diamond. But, remember, you’re on an island, on an isolated trail- medical attention could take a while to reach you. Hopefully one of the Police boats with 3/300HP outboards bring you the medical personnel, because the bumboats move slower than you can swim. At a moderate pace you should finish in 1-2 hours. The quarry trails aren’t as affected by heavy rains as the blue squares. Those seem to cut through marsh areas. Currently, if you’re on the blue trails, beware-there are some washed out spots with a hole or two that will swallow your front tire and spit you out over the handlebars. There is some deep mud on those trails too, which is fun if that’s your thing. I would skip the quarry trail with kids unless they have experience riding elsewhere. Overall, great trails-better than Bukit Tima, Chestnut, and Kent Ridge IMHO.
