To provide more recreational options for visitors, NParks will soon be launching new islandwide trails. From end-2018, visitors will be able to explore the Coast-to-Coast (C2C) Trail and the Nature Park Network (NPN). These developments were announced by Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for National Development Mr Desmond Lee, at the opening of an exhibition that showcased the preliminary design for the Rail Corridor (Central) on 21 October 2017.
The C2C Trail is a 36km trail that runs diagonally across Singapore. Stretching from Jurong Lake Gardens in the southwest to Coney Island Park in the northeast, it will take users through a variety of parks, park connectors, nature areas, places of interest and urban spaces. When ready in end-2018, visitors will be able to explore the C2C Trail on their own using a DIY trail guide or mobile app, or participate in activities organised along the trail that engage visitors through experiential and interactive features. These include interesting wayfinding signs, fun game stations, and viewing areas from which to spot wildlife.

The NPN comprises 48km of trails that link up Singapore’s central nature parks. It provides convenient recreational access to these nature parks, helping to ease visitor pressure on the surrounding nature reserves. A DIY trail guide for the NPN will also be available by end-2018, and visitors can follow curated trails of varying difficulty to explore green spaces in the heart of Singapore.
