Hort Park was giving out some seedings to encourage people to take up gardening (to keep one occupied at home during Covid Pandemic). My wife signed up and booked an appointment to pick up the seedings from the Information Centre @ Hort Park this morning.
Both of us (my wife and I) have never visited Hort Park before. We knew the park was just a stone throw away from Kent Ridge Park. Hence, we decided to go for our Sunday morning walking exercise in Kent Ridge Park, then detoured to Hort Park to pick up the seedings.
We had brought our children to visit Kent Ridge Park and explore the canopy many years ago (when they were still in Primary School). I had explored the eco-pond in the park during my university days (I stayed in Kent Ridge Hall, which is located behind NUH).
Took some photos of the park...

Trees and shrubs abound in Kent Ridge Park, with several trails to explore.
Ample opportunity to breath-in invigorating fresh air in the morning.
There were even a few people armed with binoculars / telescopic lens to view birds in a secluded section of the park.
Canopy walk is a must for first time visitor, best to visit in the early morning when the sun is not that forbidding.
To reach Hort Park, we have to negotiate steps down a slope, then walk pass a winding paved road. Don't worry, it is not strenuous at all.
Hort Park has many themed gardens - eg therapeutic garden, edible garden etc. It is surprisingly big.
For those who are adventurous and have time to spare, you may walk from Kent Ridge Park, cutting through Hort Park, and go all the way to Teluk Blangah Hill Park (visiting the Henderson Waves) and then Mt Faber Park.
