Geylang Park Connector (Dakota segment)

Looking ahead and down from my balcony, one can see the vast expanse of Geylang Park Connector stretching parellel to Geylang River, from Geylang district, running pass Dakota district, and all the way to Kallang district/Tanjung Rhu Promenade.

The cycling cum exercise track along the park connector is rather scenic. Many people jog/brisk walk along the track in earling morning/late evening - sometimes, even in the middle of the night!

The circular loop stretching from Mountbatten Rd to Dunman Rd covers a distance of approximate 2 km. I have been diligently doing several round of brisk walking at least 5 days per week over the past year - covering a distance of 6-7km each time. I even walked all the way to Tanjung Rhu Promenade / Marina Bay Barge on several occasions.

One must salute the government in enhancing the beauty and serenity of various track along the river, making it accessible for people of all ages to enjoy and exercise. Indeed, the country is living up to the name of Garden City! 

My place of residence is one of the condominium on the left

Track for exercising. It is a pity that the old public housing (the brownish looking building on the left) is going to be demolished, making way for new projects in the future.

 The exercise tracks running on either side of the river banks.





How care-free could one be?!







A park for all and sundry



Reflection ...


I don't have to venture far to exercise. The exercise track is just right in front of my place of residence.
There is truly no excuse in staying sedentary at home during leisure hours.
