Don't miss out for a moment longer – here's your guide to this Singapore treasure!\nAcronym overload in Singapore is an actual thing. PIE, KPE, SLE… the list is endless. So we thought PCN was yet another acronym that we could ignore. So wrong! The PCN, or\nPark Connector Network\n, is a system of jogging,\ncycling\n,\nskating\nand\nscooting paths\nthat connect some of\nSingapore’s best parks\n. Which means easy access to all our kids’ favourite playgrounds – and a healthy method to get them exercising and all warmed up for play! Covering a distance of more than 300 kilometres, the paths connect most of this beautiful island by using paved roads, canals and rivers. Simple and easy to use since the ’90s!\nThe Park Connector Network currently offers six ‘loops’ or series of Park Connectors – you could choose to tackle one Park Connector (they’re as short as 800 metres) or do a whole loop if you’re feeling energetic.\n1. Eastern Coastal Loop\nPhoto: NParks via Facebook\nIdeal for East Coast dwellers, the Eastern Coastal Loop connects\nPasir Ris Park\nto\nEast Coast Park\n. The 17.5 kilometres of paths will take you from Pasir Ris Town Park,\nTampines Eco Green\n, Bedok Reservoir Park and Food Centre, Bedok Jetty, East Coast Park and\nChangi Beach Park\n. Along the way, there are plenty of rest stops, food outlets,\nplaygrounds\n, beaches and\nwildlife\n to enjoy.\nMore info\n2. North Eastern Riverine Loop\nThe North Eastern Riverine Loop is ideal if you’re after relatively flat terrain for cycling. The entire loop is about 16 kilometres and links Buangkok, Sengkang and\nPunggol\n. Travel from Punggol Park to Sengkang Riverside Park, Punggol Point Park, past\nConey Island\n, through Lorong Halus Wetland and back around to Punggol Park. Loved by locals for its\nnatural beauty\n, you’ll see loads of birds while you’re on the park connector network, like kingfishers and herons, as well as exotic fruits such as lychees and sweatshops.\nMore info\n3. Central Urban Loop\nImage: NParks via Facebook\nIf you’re more of a city dweller, this is the loop for you. The Central Urban Loop provides 36 kilometres of paths linking Bishan,\nAng Mo Kio\n,\nToa Payoh\nand Whampoa. Get to know more about the Singapore heartlands as you walk, run,\nscoot\n,\ncycle\nor rollerblade past iconic HDBs, awesome playgrounds and wide-open spaces like\nBishan-Ang Mo Kio Park\n, Kallang Riverside Park and Punggol Park. And don’t be fooled… just because this is an ‘urban’ loop, you’ll still get to see\nplenty of wildlife\nand greenery. This is the garden city, after all.\nMore info\n4. Northern Explorer Loop\nOne of the shorter loops, the 11-kilometre Northern Explorer Loop spans from Lower Seletar Reservoir, along Mandai Park Connector (keep watch for those naughty macaques!), Sembawang,\nAdmiralty Park\n(don’t forget to stop for a quick slide) to Woodlands Waterfront, where you can catch glimpses of\nJohor\n. The terrain on this loop tends to be a bit hillier, so it might be better suited to older kids or if you’re looking for a workout!\nMore info\n5. Western Adventure Loop\nWestern Adventure Loop does what it says on the tin. An adventure awaits you on this lush 12-kilometre trail. You’ll travel from the green Choa Chu Kang Park along the Bukit Panjang Park Connector, Zhenghua Park, Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Batok Nature Park. Begin your journey on one of the many entry points before leaving the loop for a more rugged\nnature trail adventure\n.\nMore info\n6. Southern Ridges Loop\nPhoto: Mark via flickr\nWith 10-kilometre of trails spanning southwest Singapore, the Southern Ridges Loop is a feast for the eyes. You can start the \npram-friendly trail\nat Mount Faber Park, head through Telok Blangah Hill Park, and then continue on to either Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park or Labrador Park. The best sights include the iconic Henderson Waves bridge, a bit of history at Labrador Park and the Forest Walk near Telok Blangah. Don’t forget to stop for a quick play at the lovely Hort Park on your way home.\nMore info\nOur favourite park connectors\nIf the idea of tackling a whole loop sounds too daunting, why not just start with \none\nPark Connector? You could pick one near your home or head out of your regular ‘hood and do some exploring. Here are a few suggestions to get you started…\n1. Changi Bay Park Connector\nPhotography: Tiffany Tan of SG PCN Cyclist via Facebook\nThis park connector is one of our favourite routes! It connects Changi Beach Park to the East Coast PCN, and some folks say the scenery reminds them of Jeju Island! There are two bridges that overlook the waterfront, a boardwalk that’s connected to the breakwater, and a pavilion with benches to rest and enjoy the view. Psst, we recommend coming here either super early in the morning or later in the evening for the stunning sunrise or sunset views. Good for the gram too!\nMore info\n2. Rail Corridor\nDiscover Singapore’s heritage through this trail. Photography: Kate Noble\nHistory and greenery are two things synonymous with the Rail Corridor. This 24-kilometre green corridor passes through the north and south of Singapore and features places like Bukit Timah Railway Station, the iconic Bukit Timah Truss Bridge, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore Quarry, and more. You’ll get to be in one with nature and uncover Singapore’s\nheritage\nalong this trail. Psst, while the corridor is open daily, there’s no lighting along the trail except at major intersections. So be safe if you plan to go around that area at night.\nMore info\n3. Queenstown to Robertson Quay\nA beautiful green canopy – perfect to snap some pics. Photography: Park Connector Network\nStart off at Queenstown MRT station and scoot or wander along the Alexandra Canal Linear Park until you reach Tanglin Road. Along the way, you’ll find exercise equipment and various playgrounds. Once you cross Tanglin Road, you’ll join the Alexandra Park Connector. With paved paths for happy scooting and prams, you can make your way all the way to\nRobertson Quay\n, where you can stop for refreshments or\nlunch by the river\n. A perfect way to spend a morning.\nMore info\n4. Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park\nThis is a great way to get started on Singapore’s Park Connectors and keep the kids entertained while you’re at it. With wide paths and plenty of kid-friendly attractions along the route, this one is sure to keep everyone happy. Start at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and follow the Ang Mo Kio Park Connector through to\nBishan-Ang Mo Kio Park\n. Within the park, the path continues, and you’ll find lots of fun things for the kids to do. From ponds, green spaces, bridges,\nwater play\nareas and playgrounds, too! There are also a couple of lovely eating options within the park if you ever need an extended break.\nMore info\n5. Punggol Park Connector\nPhotography: Raiz Redwan\nHave the kids just discovered the joy of\nbike riding\n? Tackle the six-kilometre Punggol Park Connector, which runs from Gerald Drive, along Punggol Reservoir (with a view of the Straits of Johor) right through to Punggol Promenade. We love this park connector because it’s safe for the kids to cycle, with wide paths away from roads. It’s generally pretty quiet too. There are plenty of exit points on this route, and a couple of rest stops along the way, too.\nMore info\nAnd if you’re ready to conquer longer Park Connectors…\nNot tired and ready for more adventure? Head on one of two long-distance routes around the country. There are three options on how you can complete this – either by walking, running or biking – but judging by the length and the heat outside, we’d definitely pick the latter. Psst: you may want to leave the kids at home for this one!\n1. Round Island Route (RIR)\nPhase 1 of the RIR has opened in Singapore. Photography: Nparks via Facebook\nIf you’ve ever wanted to ride, walk or run around the circumference of Singapore, well, you can. The Round Island Route (RIR) is (currently) a 75-kilometre park connector that complements the existing park connector network. Start off at the kid-friendly Rower’s Bay, which includes a lookout pavilion, swales and a wetland.\nSeletar Aerospace Park\nis easily accessible too. You can venture into The Oval and explore the\nblack and white houses\n. Tired from all the walking? Take a nice break at restaurants around the area with the kids! From there, continue onwards to Gardens by the Bay and Berlayer Creek at Labrador.\nMore info\n2. Coast-to-Coast Trail\nOnly conquer this if you have legs of steel!\nThe 36-kilometre Coast-to-Coast trail starts from\nJurong Lake Gardens\nto\nConey Island Park\n. The best part? You can download the dedicated trail app, which makes use of interactive augmented reality (AR) elements that elevate your experience. And don’t miss out on the\nDIY trail guide and curated trails\nfrom other users, too.\nMore info\nPark connector dos and don’ts\nWhile you’re on the Park Connector Network, take note of some dos and don’ts.\nDo\nfeel free to walk, run, cycle, scoot or skate along all paths of the Park Connector Network (although you’ll have difficulty scooting along some of the raised walkways, so check specifics before you embark on your adventure).\nDo\nkeep left, just as you would on a regular footpath, on an escalator or when driving.\nDon’t\nforget that parts of the PCN crossroads, so make sure you follow the rules and cross at designated crossings where you can.\nDo\nremember to wear protective gear if you’re cycling or scooting.\nDon’t\nlose track of the kids – some of the cyclists can travel at speed along park connectors, so keep the kids out of harm’s way.\nDo\nbring your dog\n– they’re welcome on PCs.\nDon’t\nforget to bring bags to clean up your dog’s mess.\nDo\ncheck ahead – PCNs do have closures from time to time due to adverse weather conditions or ongoing improvement works.\nAnd finally – do have fun!","attrs_markdown":"![](https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/tr?id=220078961671741&ev=PageView&noscript=1)\n\n## Skip links\n- [Skip to primary navigation](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/singapore-park-connector-network\/#genesis-nav-primary)\n- [Skip to content](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/singapore-park-connector-network\/#genesis-content)\n- [Skip to primary sidebar](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/singapore-park-connector-network\/#genesis-sidebar-primary)\n\n[Singapore Singapore]()\n\n[HoneyKids Asia](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/)\n\nThe Ultimate Singapore Kids Guide \\| Schools \\| Fun Things to Do with Kids \\| Family Friendly Restaurants \\| Kids Activities\n## Header Right\n## Main navigation\n- [Things to Do](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/things-to-do-with-kids\/)\n  -

Don't miss out for a moment longer – here's your guide to this Singapore treasure\\!\nAcronym overload in Singapore is an actual thing. PIE, KPE, SLE… the list is endless. So we thought PCN was yet another acronym that we could ignore. So wrong! The PCN, or [Park Connector Network](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/), is a system of jogging, [cycling](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/cycling-routes-bike-rides-singapore\/), [skating](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-go-skating-in-singapore\/) and [scooting paths](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-go-scooting-with-kids-in-singapore\/) that connect some of [Singapore’s best parks](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/best-parks-for-kids-in-singapore\/). Which means easy access to all our kids’ favourite playgrounds – and a healthy method to get them exercising and all warmed up for play! Covering a distance of more than 300 kilometres, the paths connect most of this beautiful island by using paved roads, canals and rivers. Simple and easy to use since the ’90s\\!\n\nThe Park Connector Network currently offers six ‘loops’ or series of Park Connectors – you could choose to tackle one Park Connector (they’re as short as 800 metres) or do a whole loop if you’re feeling energetic.\n\n### 1\\. Eastern Coastal Loop\n![](https:\/\/s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/static.honeykidsasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/eastern-coastal-loop-park-connecter-network-900x643.png)\n\nPhoto: NParks via Facebook\n\nIdeal for East Coast dwellers, the Eastern Coastal Loop connects [Pasir Ris Park](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/pasir-ris-singapore\/) to [East Coast Park](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/east-coast-park-ecp-singapore\/). The 17.5 kilometres of paths will take you from Pasir Ris Town Park, [Tampines Eco Green](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/tampines-singapore\/), Bedok Reservoir Park and Food Centre, Bedok Jetty, East Coast Park and [Changi Beach Park](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/best-beaches-in-singapore-for-kids\/). Along the way, there are plenty of rest stops, food outlets, [playgrounds](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/parkland-green-on-singapores-east-coast\/), beaches and [wildlife](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-spot-wildlife-in-singapore\/) to enjoy.  \n*[**More info**](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/the-pcn-experience\/ecl\/)*\n\n### 2\\. North Eastern Riverine Loop\nThe North Eastern Riverine Loop is ideal if you’re after relatively flat terrain for cycling. The entire loop is about 16 kilometres and links Buangkok, Sengkang and [Punggol](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/what-to-do-in-punggol-with-kids\/). Travel from Punggol Park to Sengkang Riverside Park, Punggol Point Park, past [Coney Island](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/guide-coney-island-singapore\/), through Lorong Halus Wetland and back around to Punggol Park. Loved by locals for its [natural beauty](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/nature-reserves-singapore\/), you’ll see loads of birds while you’re on the park connector network, like kingfishers and herons, as well as exotic fruits such as lychees and sweatshops.  \n*[**More info**](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/the-pcn-experience\/nerl\/)*\n\n### 3\\. Central Urban Loop\n[![central urban loop park connector singapore](https:\/\/s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/static.honeykidsasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/central-urban-loop-park-connector-singapore-900x643.png)](https:\/\/s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/static.honeykidsasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/central-urban-loop-park-connector-singapore.png)\n\nImage: NParks via Facebook\n\nIf you’re more of a city dweller, this is the loop for you. The Central Urban Loop provides 36 kilometres of paths linking Bishan, [Ang Mo Kio](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/guide-to-ang-mo-kio-singapore\/), [Toa Payoh](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/what-to-do-in-novena-and-toa-payoh\/) and Whampoa. Get to know more about the Singapore heartlands as you walk, run, [scoot](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-go-scooting-with-kids-in-singapore\/), [cycle](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-buy-bikes-whole-family-singapore\/) or rollerblade past iconic HDBs, awesome playgrounds and wide-open spaces like [Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/guide-to-bishan-ang-mo-kio-park-with-kids\/), Kallang Riverside Park and Punggol Park. And don’t be fooled… just because this is an ‘urban’ loop, you’ll still get to see [plenty of wildlife](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/where-to-spot-wildlife-in-singapore\/) and greenery. This is the garden city, after all.  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/the-pcn-experience\/cul\/)\n\n### 4\\.

The terrain on this loop tends to be a bit hillier, so it might be better suited to older kids or if you’re looking for a workout\\!  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/the-pcn-experience\/nel\/)\n\n### 5\\. Western Adventure Loop\nWestern Adventure Loop does what it says on the tin. An adventure awaits you on this lush 12-kilometre trail. You’ll travel from the green Choa Chu Kang Park along the Bukit Panjang Park Connector, Zhenghua Park, Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Batok Nature Park. Begin your journey on one of the many entry points before leaving the loop for a more rugged [nature trail adventure](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/hiking-in-singapore-with-kids\/).  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/the-pcn-experience\/wal\/)\n\n### 6\\.

You can start the [pram-friendly trail](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/pram-friendly-walks-singapore-southern-ridges\/) at Mount Faber Park, head through Telok Blangah Hill Park, and then continue on to either Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park or Labrador Park. The best sights include the iconic Henderson Waves bridge, a bit of history at Labrador Park and the Forest Walk near Telok Blangah. Don’t forget to stop for a quick play at the lovely Hort Park on your way home.  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/www.nparks.gov.sg\/docs\/default-source\/parks-docs\/shared\/hortpark-southern-ridges-diy-walk.pdf)\n\n## Our favourite park connectors\nIf the idea of tackling a whole loop sounds too daunting, why not just start with *one* Park Connector? You could pick one near your home or head out of your regular ‘hood and do some exploring. Here are a few suggestions to get you started…\n\n[![hiking in singapore](https:\/\/s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com\/static.honeykidsasia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/juliane-lieberman-hiking-in-singapore.png)](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/hiking-in-singapore-with-kids\/)\n\n### 1\\.

It connects Changi Beach Park to the East Coast PCN, and some folks say the scenery reminds them of Jeju Island! There are two bridges that overlook the waterfront, a boardwalk that’s connected to the breakwater, and a pavilion with benches to rest and enjoy the view. Psst, we recommend coming here either super early in the morning or later in the evening for the stunning sunrise or sunset views. Good for the gram too\\!  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/pcn.nparks.gov.sg\/changi-bay-pc\/)\n\n### 2\\.

Photography: Kate Noble\n\nHistory and greenery are two things synonymous with the Rail Corridor. This 24-kilometre green corridor passes through the north and south of Singapore and features places like Bukit Timah Railway Station, the iconic Bukit Timah Truss Bridge, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore Quarry, and more. You’ll get to be in one with nature and uncover Singapore’s [heritage](https:\/\/honeykidsasia.com\/heritage-trails-to-take-the-kids-on-to-explore-singapores-history\/) along this trail. Psst, while the corridor is open daily, there’s no lighting along the trail except at major intersections. So be safe if you plan to go around that area at night.  \n[***More info***](https:\/\/railcorridor.nparks.gov.sg\/visit-rail-corridor\/)\n\n### 3\\.

Meta Canonical	null
Boilerpipe Text	Image: NParks Have you explored the Park Connector Network (PCN)? Don't miss out for a moment longer – here's your guide to this Singapore treasure! Acronym overload in Singapore is an actual thing. PIE, KPE, SLE… the list is endless. So we thought PCN was yet another acronym that we could ignore. So wrong! The PCN, or Park Connector Network , is a system of jogging, cycling , skating and scooting paths that connect some of Singapore’s best parks . Which means easy access to all our kids’ favourite playgrounds – and a healthy method to get them exercising and all warmed up for play! Covering a distance of more than 300 kilometres, the paths connect most of this beautiful island by using paved roads, canals and rivers. Simple and easy to use since the ’90s! The Park Connector Network currently offers six ‘loops’ or series of Park Connectors – you could choose to tackle one Park Connector (they’re as short as 800 metres) or do a whole loop if you’re feeling energetic. 1. Eastern Coastal Loop Photo: NParks via Facebook Ideal for East Coast dwellers, the Eastern Coastal Loop connects Pasir Ris Park to East Coast Park . The 17.5 kilometres of paths will take you from Pasir Ris Town Park, Tampines Eco Green , Bedok Reservoir Park and Food Centre, Bedok Jetty, East Coast Park and Changi Beach Park . Along the way, there are plenty of rest stops, food outlets, playgrounds , beaches and wildlife to enjoy. More info 2. North Eastern Riverine Loop The North Eastern Riverine Loop is ideal if you’re after relatively flat terrain for cycling. The entire loop is about 16 kilometres and links Buangkok, Sengkang and Punggol . Travel from Punggol Park to Sengkang Riverside Park, Punggol Point Park, past Coney Island , through Lorong Halus Wetland and back around to Punggol Park. Loved by locals for its natural beauty , you’ll see loads of birds while you’re on the park connector network, like kingfishers and herons, as well as exotic fruits such as lychees and sweatshops. More info 3. Central Urban Loop Image: NParks via Facebook If you’re more of a city dweller, this is the loop for you. The Central Urban Loop provides 36 kilometres of paths linking Bishan, Ang Mo Kio , Toa Payoh and Whampoa. Get to know more about the Singapore heartlands as you walk, run, scoot , cycle or rollerblade past iconic HDBs, awesome playgrounds and wide-open spaces like Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park , Kallang Riverside Park and Punggol Park. And don’t be fooled… just because this is an ‘urban’ loop, you’ll still get to see plenty of wildlife and greenery. This is the garden city, after all. More info 4. Northern Explorer Loop One of the shorter loops, the 11-kilometre Northern Explorer Loop spans from Lower Seletar Reservoir, along Mandai Park Connector (keep watch for those naughty macaques!), Sembawang, Admiralty Park (don’t forget to stop for a quick slide) to Woodlands Waterfront, where you can catch glimpses of Johor . The terrain on this loop tends to be a bit hillier, so it might be better suited to older kids or if you’re looking for a workout! More info 5. Western Adventure Loop Western Adventure Loop does what it says on the tin. An adventure awaits you on this lush 12-kilometre trail. You’ll travel from the green Choa Chu Kang Park along the Bukit Panjang Park Connector, Zhenghua Park, Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Batok Nature Park. Begin your journey on one of the many entry points before leaving the loop for a more rugged nature trail adventure . More info 6. Southern Ridges Loop Photo: Mark via flickr With 10-kilometre of trails spanning southwest Singapore, the Southern Ridges Loop is a feast for the eyes. You can start the pram-friendly trail at Mount Faber Park, head through Telok Blangah Hill Park, and then continue on to either Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park or Labrador Park. The best sights include the iconic Henderson Waves bridge, a bit of history at Labrador Park and the Forest Walk near Telok Blangah. Don’t forget to stop for a quick play at the lovely Hort Park on your way home. More info Our favourite park connectors If the idea of tackling a whole loop sounds too daunting, why not just start with one Park Connector? You could pick one near your home or head out of your regular ‘hood and do some exploring. Here are a few suggestions to get you started… 1. Changi Bay Park Connector Photography: Tiffany Tan of SG PCN Cyclist via Facebook This park connector is one of our favourite routes! It connects Changi Beach Park to the East Coast PCN, and some folks say the scenery reminds them of Jeju Island! There are two bridges that overlook the waterfront, a boardwalk that’s connected to the breakwater, and a pavilion with benches to rest and enjoy the view. Psst, we recommend coming here either super early in the morning or later in the evening for the stunning sunrise or sunset views. Good for the gram too! More info 2. Rail Corridor Discover Singapore’s heritage through this trail. Photography: Kate Noble History and greenery are two things synonymous with the Rail Corridor. This 24-kilometre green corridor passes through the north and south of Singapore and features places like Bukit Timah Railway Station, the iconic Bukit Timah Truss Bridge, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore Quarry, and more. You’ll get to be in one with nature and uncover Singapore’s heritage along this trail. Psst, while the corridor is open daily, there’s no lighting along the trail except at major intersections. So be safe if you plan to go around that area at night. More info 3. Queenstown to Robertson Quay A beautiful green canopy – perfect to snap some pics. Photography: Park Connector Network Start off at Queenstown MRT station and scoot or wander along the Alexandra Canal Linear Park until you reach Tanglin Road. Along the way, you’ll find exercise equipment and various playgrounds. Once you cross Tanglin Road, you’ll join the Alexandra Park Connector. With paved paths for happy scooting and prams, you can make your way all the way to Robertson Quay , where you can stop for refreshments or lunch by the river . A perfect way to spend a morning. More info 4. Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park This is a great way to get started on Singapore’s Park Connectors and keep the kids entertained while you’re at it. With wide paths and plenty of kid-friendly attractions along the route, this one is sure to keep everyone happy. Start at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and follow the Ang Mo Kio Park Connector through to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park . Within the park, the path continues, and you’ll find lots of fun things for the kids to do. From ponds, green spaces, bridges, water play areas and playgrounds, too! There are also a couple of lovely eating options within the park if you ever need an extended break. More info 5. Punggol Park Connector Photography: Raiz Redwan Have the kids just discovered the joy of bike riding ? Tackle the six-kilometre Punggol Park Connector, which runs from Gerald Drive, along Punggol Reservoir (with a view of the Straits of Johor) right through to Punggol Promenade. We love this park connector because it’s safe for the kids to cycle, with wide paths away from roads. It’s generally pretty quiet too. There are plenty of exit points on this route, and a couple of rest stops along the way, too. More info And if you’re ready to conquer longer Park Connectors… Not tired and ready for more adventure? Head on one of two long-distance routes around the country. There are three options on how you can complete this – either by walking, running or biking – but judging by the length and the heat outside, we’d definitely pick the latter. Psst: you may want to leave the kids at home for this one! 1. Round Island Route (RIR) Phase 1 of the RIR has opened in Singapore. Photography: Nparks via Facebook If you’ve ever wanted to ride, walk or run around the circumference of Singapore, well, you can. The Round Island Route (RIR) is (currently) a 75-kilometre park connector that complements the existing park connector network. Start off at the kid-friendly Rower’s Bay, which includes a lookout pavilion, swales and a wetland. Seletar Aerospace Park is easily accessible too. You can venture into The Oval and explore the black and white houses . Tired from all the walking? Take a nice break at restaurants around the area with the kids! From there, continue onwards to Gardens by the Bay and Berlayer Creek at Labrador. More info 2. Coast-to-Coast Trail Only conquer this if you have legs of steel! The 36-kilometre Coast-to-Coast trail starts from Jurong Lake Gardens to Coney Island Park . The best part? You can download the dedicated trail app, which makes use of interactive augmented reality (AR) elements that elevate your experience. And don’t miss out on the DIY trail guide and curated trails from other users, too. More info Park connector dos and don’ts While you’re on the Park Connector Network, take note of some dos and don’ts. Do feel free to walk, run, cycle, scoot or skate along all paths of the Park Connector Network (although you’ll have difficulty scooting along some of the raised walkways, so check specifics before you embark on your adventure). Do keep left, just as you would on a regular footpath, on an escalator or when driving. Don’t forget that parts of the PCN crossroads, so make sure you follow the rules and cross at designated crossings where you can. Do remember to wear protective gear if you’re cycling or scooting. Don’t lose track of the kids – some of the cyclists can travel at speed along park connectors, so keep the kids out of harm’s way. Do bring your dog – they’re welcome on PCs. Don’t forget to bring bags to clean up your dog’s mess. Do check ahead – PCNs do have closures from time to time due to adverse weather conditions or ongoing improvement works. And finally – do have fun!

Readable Markdown	![An easy guide to Singapore’s Park Connector Network and why you’ll love it\!](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/park-connectors-singapore-hero-2025.png) Image: NParks ## Have you explored the Park Connector Network (PCN)? Don't miss out for a moment longer – here's your guide to this Singapore treasure\! Acronym overload in Singapore is an actual thing. PIE, KPE, SLE… the list is endless. So we thought PCN was yet another acronym that we could ignore. So wrong! The PCN, or [Park Connector Network](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/), is a system of jogging, [cycling](https://honeykidsasia.com/cycling-routes-bike-rides-singapore/), [skating](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-go-skating-in-singapore/) and [scooting paths](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-go-scooting-with-kids-in-singapore/) that connect some of [Singapore’s best parks](https://honeykidsasia.com/best-parks-for-kids-in-singapore/). Which means easy access to all our kids’ favourite playgrounds – and a healthy method to get them exercising and all warmed up for play! Covering a distance of more than 300 kilometres, the paths connect most of this beautiful island by using paved roads, canals and rivers. Simple and easy to use since the ’90s\! The Park Connector Network currently offers six ‘loops’ or series of Park Connectors – you could choose to tackle one Park Connector (they’re as short as 800 metres) or do a whole loop if you’re feeling energetic. ### 1\. Eastern Coastal Loop ![](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/eastern-coastal-loop-park-connecter-network-900x643.png) Photo: NParks via Facebook Ideal for East Coast dwellers, the Eastern Coastal Loop connects [Pasir Ris Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/pasir-ris-singapore/) to [East Coast Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/east-coast-park-ecp-singapore/). The 17.5 kilometres of paths will take you from Pasir Ris Town Park, [Tampines Eco Green](https://honeykidsasia.com/tampines-singapore/), Bedok Reservoir Park and Food Centre, Bedok Jetty, East Coast Park and [Changi Beach Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/best-beaches-in-singapore-for-kids/). Along the way, there are plenty of rest stops, food outlets, [playgrounds](https://honeykidsasia.com/parkland-green-on-singapores-east-coast/), beaches and [wildlife](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-spot-wildlife-in-singapore/) to enjoy. [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/the-pcn-experience/ecl/) ### 2\. North Eastern Riverine Loop The North Eastern Riverine Loop is ideal if you’re after relatively flat terrain for cycling. The entire loop is about 16 kilometres and links Buangkok, Sengkang and [Punggol](https://honeykidsasia.com/what-to-do-in-punggol-with-kids/). Travel from Punggol Park to Sengkang Riverside Park, Punggol Point Park, past [Coney Island](https://honeykidsasia.com/guide-coney-island-singapore/), through Lorong Halus Wetland and back around to Punggol Park. Loved by locals for its [natural beauty](https://honeykidsasia.com/nature-reserves-singapore/), you’ll see loads of birds while you’re on the park connector network, like kingfishers and herons, as well as exotic fruits such as lychees and sweatshops. [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/the-pcn-experience/nerl/) ### 3\. Central Urban Loop [![central urban loop park connector singapore](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/central-urban-loop-park-connector-singapore-900x643.png)](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/central-urban-loop-park-connector-singapore.png) Image: NParks via Facebook If you’re more of a city dweller, this is the loop for you. The Central Urban Loop provides 36 kilometres of paths linking Bishan, [Ang Mo Kio](https://honeykidsasia.com/guide-to-ang-mo-kio-singapore/), [Toa Payoh](https://honeykidsasia.com/what-to-do-in-novena-and-toa-payoh/) and Whampoa. Get to know more about the Singapore heartlands as you walk, run, [scoot](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-go-scooting-with-kids-in-singapore/), [cycle](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-buy-bikes-whole-family-singapore/) or rollerblade past iconic HDBs, awesome playgrounds and wide-open spaces like [Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/guide-to-bishan-ang-mo-kio-park-with-kids/), Kallang Riverside Park and Punggol Park. And don’t be fooled… just because this is an ‘urban’ loop, you’ll still get to see [plenty of wildlife](https://honeykidsasia.com/where-to-spot-wildlife-in-singapore/) and greenery. This is the garden city, after all. [*More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/the-pcn-experience/cul/) ### 4\. Northern Explorer Loop ![](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/northern-explorer-loop-pcn-singapore-900x643.png) One of the shorter loops, the 11-kilometre Northern Explorer Loop spans from Lower Seletar Reservoir, along Mandai Park Connector (keep watch for those naughty macaques!), Sembawang, [Admiralty Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/admiralty-park-playground-in-singapore/) (don’t forget to stop for a quick slide) to Woodlands Waterfront, where you can catch glimpses of [Johor](https://honeykidsasia.com/what-to-do-with-kids-in-johor-bahru/). The terrain on this loop tends to be a bit hillier, so it might be better suited to older kids or if you’re looking for a workout\! [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/the-pcn-experience/nel/) ### 5\. Western Adventure Loop Western Adventure Loop does what it says on the tin. An adventure awaits you on this lush 12-kilometre trail. You’ll travel from the green Choa Chu Kang Park along the Bukit Panjang Park Connector, Zhenghua Park, Dairy Farm Nature Park and Bukit Batok Nature Park. Begin your journey on one of the many entry points before leaving the loop for a more rugged [nature trail adventure](https://honeykidsasia.com/hiking-in-singapore-with-kids/). [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/the-pcn-experience/wal/) ### 6\. Southern Ridges Loop ![](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/southern-ridges-pcn-singapore-900x643.png) Photo: Mark via flickr With 10-kilometre of trails spanning southwest Singapore, the Southern Ridges Loop is a feast for the eyes. You can start the [pram-friendly trail](https://honeykidsasia.com/pram-friendly-walks-singapore-southern-ridges/) at Mount Faber Park, head through Telok Blangah Hill Park, and then continue on to either Hort Park and Kent Ridge Park or Labrador Park. The best sights include the iconic Henderson Waves bridge, a bit of history at Labrador Park and the Forest Walk near Telok Blangah. Don’t forget to stop for a quick play at the lovely Hort Park on your way home. [More info](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/docs/default-source/parks-docs/shared/hortpark-southern-ridges-diy-walk.pdf) ## Our favourite park connectors If the idea of tackling a whole loop sounds too daunting, why not just start with one* Park Connector? You could pick one near your home or head out of your regular ‘hood and do some exploring. Here are a few suggestions to get you started… [![hiking in singapore](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/juliane-lieberman-hiking-in-singapore.png)](https://honeykidsasia.com/hiking-in-singapore-with-kids/) ### 1\. Changi Bay Park Connector ![Changi Bay PCN with dog \\| Singapore Park Connector Network](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/HKA-image-resize-1400-x-1000-1400-%C3%97-1000px-1400-%C3%97-1000px-16-900x643.png) Photography: Tiffany Tan of SG PCN Cyclist via Facebook This park connector is one of our favourite routes! It connects Changi Beach Park to the East Coast PCN, and some folks say the scenery reminds them of Jeju Island! There are two bridges that overlook the waterfront, a boardwalk that’s connected to the breakwater, and a pavilion with benches to rest and enjoy the view. Psst, we recommend coming here either super early in the morning or later in the evening for the stunning sunrise or sunset views. Good for the gram too\! [*More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/changi-bay-pc/) ### 2\. Rail Corridor ![Rail Corridor \\| Singapore Park Connector Network](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Things-to-do-in-Bukit-Timah-with-kids-rail-corridor-900x643.jpg) Discover Singapore’s heritage through this trail. Photography: Kate Noble History and greenery are two things synonymous with the Rail Corridor. This 24-kilometre green corridor passes through the north and south of Singapore and features places like Bukit Timah Railway Station, the iconic Bukit Timah Truss Bridge, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, Singapore Quarry, and more. You’ll get to be in one with nature and uncover Singapore’s [heritage](https://honeykidsasia.com/heritage-trails-to-take-the-kids-on-to-explore-singapores-history/) along this trail. Psst, while the corridor is open daily, there’s no lighting along the trail except at major intersections. So be safe if you plan to go around that area at night. [More info](https://railcorridor.nparks.gov.sg/visit-rail-corridor/) ### 3\. Queenstown to Robertson Quay ![Alexandra Canal Linear Park \\| Singapore Park Connector Network](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/HKA-image-resize-1400-x-1000-1400-%C3%97-1000px-1400-%C3%97-1000px-15-900x643.png) A beautiful green canopy – perfect to snap some pics. Photography: Park Connector Network Start off at Queenstown MRT station and scoot or wander along the Alexandra Canal Linear Park until you reach Tanglin Road. Along the way, you’ll find exercise equipment and various playgrounds. Once you cross Tanglin Road, you’ll join the Alexandra Park Connector. With paved paths for happy scooting and prams, you can make your way all the way to [Robertson Quay](https://honeykidsasia.com/robertson-quay-singapore-kids/), where you can stop for refreshments or [lunch by the river](https://honeykidsasia.com/best-restaurants-by-the-river-singapore/). A perfect way to spend a morning. [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/alexandra-canal-linear-park/) ### 4\. Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West to Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park This is a great way to get started on Singapore’s Park Connectors and keep the kids entertained while you’re at it. With wide paths and plenty of kid-friendly attractions along the route, this one is sure to keep everyone happy. Start at Ang Mo Kio Town Garden West and follow the Ang Mo Kio Park Connector through to [Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/guide-to-bishan-ang-mo-kio-park-with-kids/). Within the park, the path continues, and you’ll find lots of fun things for the kids to do. From ponds, green spaces, bridges, [water play](https://honeykidsasia.com/free-water-play-areas-singapore/) areas and playgrounds, too! There are also a couple of lovely eating options within the park if you ever need an extended break. [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/ang-mo-kio-pc/) ### 5\. Punggol Park Connector [![Punggol Point Cove boardwalk \\| boarwalks in Singapore](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Punggol-Point-Cove-boardwalk-boarwalks-in-Singapore-900x643.png)](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/Punggol-Point-Cove-boardwalk-boarwalks-in-Singapore.png) Photography: Raiz Redwan Have the kids just discovered the joy of [bike riding](https://honeykidsasia.com/cycling-routes-bike-rides-singapore/)? Tackle the six-kilometre Punggol Park Connector, which runs from Gerald Drive, along Punggol Reservoir (with a view of the Straits of Johor) right through to Punggol Promenade. We love this park connector because it’s safe for the kids to cycle, with wide paths away from roads. It’s generally pretty quiet too. There are plenty of exit points on this route, and a couple of rest stops along the way, too. [More info](https://pcn.nparks.gov.sg/punggol-pc/) ## And if you’re ready to conquer longer Park Connectors… Not tired and ready for more adventure? Head on one of two long-distance routes around the country. There are three options on how you can complete this – either by walking, running or biking – but judging by the length and the heat outside, we’d definitely pick the latter. Psst: you may want to leave the kids at home for this one\! ### 1\. Round Island Route (RIR) ![Round Island Route \\| Singapore Park Connector Network](https://s3.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com/static.honeykidsasia.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/cycling-routes-singapore-round-island-route-phase-1-nparks-900x643.jpg) Phase 1 of the RIR has opened in Singapore. Photography: Nparks via Facebook If you’ve ever wanted to ride, walk or run around the circumference of Singapore, well, you can. The Round Island Route (RIR) is (currently) a 75-kilometre park connector that complements the existing park connector network. Start off at the kid-friendly Rower’s Bay, which includes a lookout pavilion, swales and a wetland. [Seletar Aerospace Park](https://honeykidsasia.com/seletar-with-kids/) is easily accessible too. You can venture into The Oval and explore the [black and white houses](https://honeykidsasia.com/black-white-house-singapore/). Tired from all the walking? Take a nice break at restaurants around the area with the kids! From there, continue onwards to Gardens by the Bay and Berlayer Creek at Labrador.
