SINGAPORE — A park connector walk which brings residents around Singapore has marked its completion after two years, and a new trail to explore Singapore’s water locations will begin next month.
The ABCWaters Project Walk will see residents walk on the fourth Sunday of each month at 14 ABC Water locations. It will begin at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park on June 28, and end at Jurong Lake in March 2017. Senior Minister State for Health Dr Amy Khor launched the walk on today (May 17).
The “GO!GO!GO! Park Connector Walk” was first launched by the Hong Kah North Active Aging Committee in 2013 to encourage residents to adopt brisk walking as a regular exercise by bringing them to the rustic parts of Singapore.
Residents participated in a total of 18 sessions and covered areas such as Woodlands, Sengkang, Bedok Reservoir and East Coast Park.
Each participant walked at least 6,250 steps per session and accumulated over 112,500 steps through the whole Park Connector walk programme. They walked more than 100km over the course of two years. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
