As we are going to participate in an Amazing Race organized by my division next week, we decided to do some recce today. One of the places that we went to is HortPark.
HortPark is a one-stop gardening hub that brings together gardening-related, recreational, educational, research and retail activities under one big canopy in a park setting. It is a knowledge hub for plants and gardening and provides the platform for the industry to share best practices and showcase garden designs, products and services. This 23-hectare regional park in South-Western Singapore is also a park connector, connecting Telok Blangah Hill Park to Kent Ridge Park.
There is a Koi pond around and Jerlene got very excited when she saw the fishes. Those Koi are really huge!
Nearby there is a bridge called the Alexandra Arch. The bridge, with its curved deck and tilted arch, spans across Alexandra Road like an opened leaf. On the Hyderabad Road side, the bridge is connected to HortPark - the gardening hub, via the Floral Walk. Near the bridge is Gillman Village, a former British military camp in the early 20th century, is now home to an eclectic mix of restaurants, pubs and art galleries.
At night, the bridge will dazzle with colour-changing LED lights. The lights display will be on between 7pm and 12am daily.
We decided to go across to the canopy walk via the arch. Jerlene was having fun running on the arch. As it was very sunny, we were all very tired when we reached the other end. Along the canopy walk, there was a durian tree with full of durians on it.....yummy....... 
After taking a short rest, we went back to HortPark and left for VivoCity.
