How to Stay Active with Green Spaces When Travelling in Singapore
Maintaining an active lifestyle on vacation isn't just about keeping your routine; it's about exploring your destination in a fresh, invigorating way. Singapore, with its captivating blend of urban energy and verdant green spaces, offers a dynamic playground for all travellers to explore and keep your wellness routine in check.
Exploring Singapore's Green Spaces
Singapore's reputation as a "City in Nature" is well-deserved. These numerous green spaces provide a perfect backdrop for staying active and add a touch of serenity to your Singapore adventure. Even better, the country’s commitment to green spaces extends to their accessibility, boasting convenient access via the city's well-connected public transportation system — the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). Here are some of the spaces you can explore:
- Gardens by the Bay: Marvel at the iconic Supertrees and explore themed gardens like the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome. Whether you're seeking to keep up your fitness routine or simply want to enjoy a leisurely stroll, the Gardens invite you to reconnect with nature and be one with local culture all while maintaining an active lifestyle. Simply alight at Bayfront MRT station and follow the underground walkway for a direct connection.
- Singapore Botanic Gardens: Take Exit A at the Botanic Gardens MRT station to arrive directly at this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Jogging paths and guided walks provide options for you to stay active while you explore curated gardens like the National Orchid Garden or wander through the forest trails for a truly immersive experience.
- East Coast Park: This expansive park is a haven for beach lovers and fitness enthusiasts alike. Cycle along the scenic coast, rent a kayak for a water adventure or simply enjoy a brisk walk on the beach. Numerous MRT stations are located near East Coast Park, including Tanjong Katong, Marine Terrace and Marine Parade. From there, you can take a short bus ride or taxi to your preferred beach or activity area.
