Unique Attractions at the Southern Ridges in Singapore – Idyllic Urban Sanctuaries

Featuring green open spaces that connect sites like Mount Faber Park and Labrador Nature Reserve, the 10 km Southern Ridges offers an unforgettable day out in nature; here are some of its key attractions.

Henderson Waves

This 36-metre high structure with its distinctive wave-like design is the highest pedestrian bridge in the country. It links Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park and offers an ideal spot for a quiet stroll with lovely views of the surrounding greenery and city; at night, it’s lit up as well which adds to its charm.

Forest Walk

On the same level as the forest canopy, the Forest Walk is at the border of Telok Blangah Hill Park. Within easy reach for those staying at a hotel near Harbourfront Singapore, this attraction is made up of an elevated metal walkway that offers a captivating journey through the trees; it’s great for birdwatching too.

HortPark

Linking Kent Ridge Park and Telok Blangah Hill Park is HortPark. Those who love gardening and floral blooms will enjoy exploring this expansive area; on your visit, you can head to different themed sections such as the Edible Garden, Butterfly Garden, Balinese Garden and Native Garden with indigenous plant species.

Kent Ridge Park

Take time to also wander around Kent Ridge Park; this picturesque site is where the Battle of Pasir Panjang was fought in World War Two. While here, you can walk along the Kent Ridge Heritage Trail, see fish and turtles at a natural pond and head up to the Canopy Walk for sightings of birds, squirrels and more.
