6 Jun 2010 - Woodlands Waterfront

Few days back I saw a news article on a new attraction in the northern part of Singapore, called Woodlands Waterfront. Looking at the map, I realized that it is actually quite near to my place. As such, we decided to take a look at that place.

There is an open air car park right at the entrance and the moment we stepped out of our car, we can feel the heat. Yes......it's a hot day so I took with us a huge umbrella. First we walked towards a long jetty that extends out to the sea. It is 400m long and is the longest in Singapore. There were many people fishing on the jetty.

Next we walked to another section of the place where there is a big open playground. Each corner of the playground is designed for different age group. Right at the centre is a 2-storey-high "Sky Walk".

Jerlene had fun at the playground but guess what, she had more fun with our umbrella.......:-)

Currently, only phase 1 is completed. When phase 2 completes by the end of this year, there will be nature trails and a 700m promenade which hangs over the sea.

As the weather was really hot, we did not stay there for too long. Both Jerlene and myself had already turned "lobster" by then. Before we left the place, Jerlene made a goodbye pose below.
