walked through the railway trail from tanjong pagar to visit here very peaceful and pretty place but a bit underwhelming got a nice little cafe there to stop and rest

Other than the heat, it was wonderful to see part of the old railway station, together with the tracks on the ground. Always would recommend stopping by and snapping a few pictures here before continuing along the rail corridor.
