Fun Hiking Day Out At Bukit Batok Nature Park

After a downpour, the sky finally cleared up. Today we were going to Bukit Batok Nature Park for a fun leisure hike. It was pretty misty after the heavy rain, making it look cool and inviting.

Located along Bukit Batok East Avenue 2 and Bukit Batok East Avenue 6, you wouldn't miss the big carpark near the park. There were a few things that we did at the park.

Walking into the park from the carpark, we could hear 'White-Crested Laughing Trush' chirping and squirrels rustling along the trees.

Quarry pool at Bukit Batok Nature Park
Bukit Batok Nature Park is famous for it's quarry pool with high cliff walls that surround a crystal clear pond. This quarry pool could be the last or at least the last few quarries left in mainland Singapore.

There was also a nature walk trail for families, exercise enthusiasts and photographers to check it out. The trail took about 20 minutes for us to reach to the World War II Memorial Site, round the other side of the Bukit Batok Nature Park.

What was left at the memorial site now is 120 steps leading up to the transmission tower. It was a very good cardio workout climbing up the steps. As we u-turn and made our way back the walking trail, we saw more people coming out to exercise at the park. It's good to see more people picking up this healthy habit.

Of course the park will not be complete without a playground for the children to have fun and exercise corners for the fitness enthusiasts.

This is indeed a nice place for a leisure hike. Good trail to introduce hiking to children. As we descended down towards the carpark, a ray of dusk light brightened up the path for us making it looked liked an Angel protecting and guiding us along.
