Join us for the walk from Woodlands MRT, into Admiralty Park towards Woodlands Waterfront. Located in the north western corner of Singapore, Admiralty Park, a national park in Woodlands, offers both nature and recreational facilities. Sungei Cina once used to run through the park but it has been diverted for the construction of the park. Much of the park is mangrove swamp. We will walk one of the boardwalks which is within the mangrove forest, follow along a nature trail and enjoy its rustic surroundings.
Leaving Admiralty Park, we arrive at the entrance to Woodlands Waterfront which was launched in May this year. Once a laid-back coastal area where a stretch of warehouses used to be, the area now offers a variety of recreational opportunities for people of all ages The coastal park and waterfront promenade has four distinctive areas – the waterfront picnic green, event plaza, playground and jetty walk. Overlooking the Straits of Johor, the refurbished jetty measuring about 400m long and about 12m wide, is one of the longest coastal jetties in Singapore. Enjoy a breezy stroll along the jetty walk and take in the beautiful sea view.
After the jetty walk, walking back along the main Admiralty Road West we take bus service no 856 to Woodlands bus interchange/MRT station. For those who wish to, can adjourn for dinner at the Mega Food Mall, 5th level or the Banquet, 7th level in Causeway Point.
Bring drinking water, an umbrella (for rain or sun), mosquito repellent, camera, cap and wear comfortable walking shoes.
See you at the walk!

Hi Mary,
we r coming, SK and me. Sorry for the last minute
notice. We wanted to register much earlier but couldn’t
confirm our availabilty until now. C u all later….
Dear Veronica and Mary,
Thank you v much for organising this wonderful walk. It’s my first time to the Admiralty Park and Woodlands Waterfront. The scenery is beautiful, esp at the Woodlands Waterfront/jetty, good exercise, nice weather and good camaraderie among SHCians. An extra bonus was watching a macaque mother monkey cradling her little baby… though we were a bit fearful of these monkeys in view of the latest bizarre newspaper report about an incident in Malaysia.
Cheers….. and looking forward to the next month’s walk.
Gabriella
Hi Veronica n Mary,
