Woodlands is a planned community in the northern part of Singapore. We’ve created a nice 10k loop combining the waterfront and some lovely, green parks. It’s easy to shorten this route.

Start at Woodlands Waterfront Park. This scenic park overlooking the Johor Straits features scenic waterfront paths with great views of the water and Johor Bahru across the way. A loop of the park is ~2 km, going out along the waterfront path one-way (including a jaunt out the jetty) and the lush, interior park paths the other. Continue west along the waterfront Admiralty Rd. toward the causeway for another 1 km, then head south on a connector path to Marsiling Park, which has paved, green paths along a couple of small lakes. Exit the east end of the park onto Woodlands Center Rd. and take the cycle/pedestrian path along Marsiling Rd. for 1.4 km east to Admiralty Park. It’s 2 km north through Admiralty Park — a lovely spot with paved & gravel trails, a boardwalk, mangrove swamp, & fitness stations.
Shorter Options: Can just do the waterfront route, for a 6 km out and back. Can also eliminate one of the parks.
Add-Ons: Just south of Marsiling Rd., there’s the hilltop Woodlands Town Park — good opportunity to get in some hill work! — and a running track at Woodlands Stadium.

Gardens by the Bay is one of Singapore’s major sites and also great for running. Combine with Fort Canning Park for a hill and a great 5.8 mile tour, and even more with Marina Bay. The Helix Bridge is a highlight, as are numerous other pedestrian bridges.
One of the most popular runs in Singapore. A paved multi-use path runs along the Singapore Strait from Marine Parade/Katong east toward the airport. Nice foliage, water views, and a festive scene. Up to 11.7 k one-way.
Some of the best running options near an airport of any city we know. Run the 'Jurassic Mile' to East Coast Park; a path to Changi Beach; or the many km of paths around Pasir Ris Park & Tampines.
In the Punggol area in the northeastern part of Singapore, there's some very scenic running on waterfront paths, around Serangoon (Coney) Island, and Waterway Park. A few different distance options.
This 62-hectare city park the heartland of the Bishan and Ang Mo Kio residential districts is a nice place for a run. Paved trails wind through gardens and lawns for a ~6.4 km loop. Can extend w/trail along Kallang River.
4.3 km loop around a Reservoir, which was originally a sand quarry. Popular spot in the eastern part of Singapore, near the airport. Add on with up to 3.4 km in adjacent Bedok Park
A verdant, scenic and unique run! Paths connect four adjacent parks, passing through and above a lush tree canopy, with great views of the city below. Includes two 'treetop walks' and impressive pedestrian bridges.
Pleasant 5 km path along the Pandan River, from Buona Vista MRT station to Clementi Ave. Can add with Rail Corridor Trail, which heads north to Clementi Forest & Bukit Timah.
This 163-ha preserve 12 km from the city is a great trail running option. Lush vegetation, facilities, and trails of varying distances & difficulty, including the 163m Bukit Timah Hill.
This 90-acre green oasis in the emerging Jurong Lake District is a wonderful new addition to the Singapore running scene. Run on lush trails through four themed gardens. Free and open all day. Lit at night!
A 16 km+ multi-use path in the western part of Singapore that can be run standalone or as add-on/connector to our Bukit Timah, Pandan River Trail, & Clementi Forest routes.
For a scenic destination run, take the short ferry ride from Changi Point to Pulau Ubin Island. The island is a large nature sanctuary featuring wetlands, quarries, mangrove swamps, and lush woodlands. Some easier trails, others more rugged.
