History of Forest Walk
Forest Walk was developed by the National Parks Board as part of the Southern Ridges project to link parks along the southern ridge of Singapore. Completed in 2008, it connects Telok Blangah Hill Park, historically part of the southern hills near Keppel Harbour, with Alexandra and HortPark, enhancing recreational connectivity while preserving secondary forest.
