Visited Windsor Nature Park in the morning, as part of our weekend exercise routine.
Pleasantly surprised that there were plenty of parking lots at the entrance of the park, and it was free parking (unlike the limited parking lots in Springleaf Nature Park, which is not free even on Sunday).

There are several short trails in the park, one of them lead all the way to Tree Top.
As we walked from the entrance into the park, the initial segment of the boardwalk cut through marsh-land with a stream meanders beside.

We ventured into Venus Loop first, then walked along raised boardwalk @ Drongo trail, followed by Squirrel Trail. The entire loop took us about 2 hours (we stopped on-off to take some photos).
Walking along Venus Loop is akin to venturing into a mini-forest - trees and shrubs line both sides of the trail, with bird chirping away happily in the distant. We even spotted a rooster foraging for food among the shrubs.

The raised boardwalk @ Drongo trail was a pleasant surprise. It leads one to Tree Top further up the slope. One short segment of the boardwalk is "guarded" by a few monkeys, sitting on the railings. There are some interesting spiralling tree branches near the end of the trail.

Winding path (paved road) cut through the shrubs/trees in Squirrel Trail (leading to the car-park).
Not bad at all for such a small park - the loop trails more than make-up for the short walking distance. One can venture all the way up to Tree Top from Windsor Park (instead of using trail from Mac Ritchie Reservoir).
Definitely worth a visit.
