A raised metal walkway through the forest canopy, running from HortPark toward Telok Blangah Hill. It's free, and we'd walk it in the morning. The timber bridge further along is Henderson Waves.

Before you go

Can I walk Telok Blangah Hill Park at night?

The park is open 24 hours, but NParks asks visitors not to enter the Earth Trail after 7pm. NParks' page for the park says there is no wheelchair access. A section of footpath below the Therapeutic Garden is closed for slope works, so check the page for the current route.

What are the two trails on the Southern Ridges Forest Walk?

The Forest Walk offers a 1.3km Elevated Walkway that brings you to eye level with the forest canopy, and a more challenging Earth Trail on the ground. Both are in Telok Blangah Hill Park, off Henderson Road, where the three carparks charge no parking fees. Take the walkway for the canopy and leave the Earth Trail before 7pm.
