We normally do our weekend morning walk on Sunday. However, since we woke up early today (Saturday), we thought to ourselves, why not..... After going through the list of parks that we have yet to explore, we decided on Pasir Ris Park Mangrove Boardwalk.
The boardwalk itself is a 1.2km to 1.5km loop that meanders through the dense mangrove forest.
It’s elevated, so we could peer directly into the muddy secrets of the swamp without getting our shoes ruined.
It's almost guaranteed to see Giant Mudskippers (which can actually climb trees!) and Water Monitor Lizards among the mangroves.
The forest acts as a natural buffer between the land and sea, breaking waves to prevent coastal erosion.
At the viewing jetty that overlooks Sungei Tampines, we saw many marine lives such as needlefishes and terrapins.
There is also a 3-story bird watching tower in the park. We climbed to the top for a panoramic view of the canopy.
This was one of the shortest walks (slightly more than an hour) that we had done so far but it's a nice and quiet one.
