Woodlands Area: Waterfront & Parks Loop

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.
