hi csc, for games and events, I will recommend the top of telok balanga hill, near the carpark and the toilets, there are few open spaces and playground for games for a small group of 20, otherwise you can try the Terrace walk (the white stairy area) as well.

Mt faber hill is the other option, but that area tend to be packed with tourist and people moving around, it’s not as quiet as telok balanga hill.

Hi Dolph, from the technopark, I suggest that you can try running from Alexandra road towards depot road (you will need to cross a junction there), the air is great and fresh in the morning. It will be alittle hillwork up along depot road, where you can stop by the food center for breakfast if do as well.

I won’t recommend the arch-> forest walk unless you like pounding on metal grates in the morning, otherwise the forest walk is a good place to run as well with minimal steps as well.

I believe you do your runs early in the morning? Otherwise I can recommend running within Hortpark as well, but it should not be opened then.

Hi ain, I am not sure of this telok balanga old college. Is it an address of a center within another building of a different name itself? There are quite a few dysfunct school compounds in the area though, maybe you could be are looking for a place which do not now.

Hi Shuan,

Is there any route for me to have a morning jog around 45 min if i am working at Alexandra Technopark?

I come to work early so thought of going for a jog everyday before starting my day..

Thanks

hi icybb, mmm a common point, that will be rather difficult as the route itself is not a continuous looping circuit but rather a long linear route.

So there will a point where you will have to walk back from where you came from. Usually what I will recommend is to start from Telok Blangah (TB) hill, then from there you are in between the Henderson waves and the Forest walk, which ever direction you start you can always return to the center.

From the TB hill there you can check out the waves first, then U-turn and head towards the forest walk -> hortpark before catching transport (or meeting) from the main road at Alexandra road.

hi,

I would like to ask for more info about this southern ridges. Is it possible to have a common starting and ending point. I would be organizing a walk for my coy so i would like to plan the route well. Hope you are able to help. Thanks

Hi Willy, the Henderson waves stands in between Mt faber and Telok Blangah hill, so technically you have to get up on end these both ends to get on the bridge!

If you wish to catch a view of it below, the nearest landmark to head to will be Safra Mt Faber, where you can follow down the main road for the bridge. There are stairs there for you to make your way up to the hill and eventually on the bridge.

The most convenient option for most commuting there will be to alight at Harbor front MRT and take the marang trail up to Faber hill.

If you are driving, you can choose to drive up Mt faber or Telok Blangah and park at the public carparks there. Parking is free.

hi,

Thanks!

lol, considering that you actually reside nearer there than me!

I will conclude the article by friday, so it you want a gist of it, the area from Mt faber to Hortpark are the only good area of the route. The very most you should go to (or from) will be Kent Ridge Park where theres free parking.
