The take

The western end of the Southern Ridges, where a canopy walk and a reflexology path share a ridge with WWII history. It's free, and Reflections at Bukit Chandu, the war museum next door, tells the story. Carry on to Haw Par Villa if your legs hold out.

Before you go

Is Kent Ridge Park wheelchair and stroller friendly?

Only in part: NParks says just Tembusu Grove and the Canopy Walk are wheelchair accessible. The rest of the park has staircases or is too steep for wheelchairs and strollers. For a smooth visit, stay on the Canopy Walk, the 280m boardwalk that runs through the secondary forest at canopy level.

How do I get from Kent Ridge Park to Reflections at Bukit Chandu?

The Canopy Walk, a 280m boardwalk, links Kent Ridge Park to the Reflections at Bukit Chandu Museum, so you walk through the forest at canopy level. The museum is a World War II interpretative centre on the Battle of Pasir Panjang. See Reflections at Bukit Chandu for tickets and hours.

Is parking free at Kent Ridge Park?

Yes, NParks says there are no parking fees at the park's four carparks, though they're small, with 18, 48, 25 and 10 car lots. Kent Ridge and Pasir Panjang MRT stations are both listed as nearby. We'd come by train, then use the 20 fitness stations, the largest number of exercise stations in a park.
