SINGAPORE: Residents living in the southern part of
Singapore can enjoy a new leisure playground with the official
opening of the Labrador Nature & Coastal
Walk.
The 2.1km Walk comprises three distinct segments -
Alexandra Garden Trail, Berlayer Creek, and Bukit Chermin
Boardwalk.
The Labrador Nature & Coastal Walk was
conceptualised and developed by the Urban Redevelopment Authority
(URA) and will be managed by the National Parks Board.
Visitors can now enter charming mangrove and coastal areas, which
were previously not accessible to pedestrians.
The Walk seamlessly connects the Southern Ridges to the Southern
Waterfront.
It runs along Alexandra Road from Depot Road to Telok Blangah Road,
through the Berlayer Creek mangrove area and skirts the foothills
of Bukit Chermin.
Information panels placed at various intervals along the Walk allow
visitors to learn about nearby attractions and rich biodiversity in
the area.
The Walk was officially opened by Minister for Trade and Industry
Mr Lim Hng Kiang Monday morning.
