| Labrador Park station |
Situated south of Singapore, you may be glad to know there is a Labrador Park mrt station just outside the entrance of Berlayer Creek. It was a relaxing 20mins stroll along the broad walk to the park.

| Heart shaped leave |
First family activity was to explore the Berlayer Creek. As it was low tide at about 5pm, there wasn't much water creatures to be seen, but it was nice to see the different shape of leaves on the trees. And this particular leaf caught our attention. Yup, it was a lovely heart shaped leave.

| Re-created Dragon's Teeth Gate |
Walking along the promenade, many families were seen having a nice stroll just liked us. Not too long later, we came upon the re-created Dragon's Teeth Gate. It was formerly a gateway into the Keppel Harbour which was formed by two rocks.
In the early days, it was a busy maritime gateway for the Asian and European sailors and traders to sail into Singapore.

| Small children's playground |
Continuing towards the park, we saw a small playground for children to have fun. Although not big, it was sufficient for younger children to handle comparing to the bigger playground where bigger kids were playing.
 |
| Family and friends bonding time |
The park was also home to fishing enthusiasts as well as photographers. Family and friends were having fun bonding,while enjoying cans of beer and barbecue food.
 |
| Bigger playground and a maze |
As we approached our second activity, which was the bigger playground, the excited children ran towards it, leaving us behind. As the children were having fun at the playground which included a wooden maze, I decided to continue exploring other parts of the park.
 |
| Coastal path |
That was how I came across the Coastal Path which was the third activity. It was well hidden by the trees of the nature park and well paved steps were created for easy exploring.

| War trail history at Labrador Park |
Reaching the top of the hill, I saw a war history trail that brought me back to the relic of our war time. Although I had taken history classes during my school days, sad to say, I don't remember a single history lesson right now. Guess my history class was wasted hahaha.
To enjoy learning during the history trail, please remember to bring mosquito patch or insect spray repellent to avoid being bitten by bugs, which happened to me! Come to think of it, I was behaving like a monkey!
Finishing the trail, I went back to join the kids. As the sun started to set, the kids knew it was time to leave the place. They were having so much fun and were so reluctant to leave the park.
We had a fantastic family day out which ended with a beautiful sunset.
