Photos of the month - Feb 2023 Labrador Nature Reserve

Labrador Nature Reserve

Labrador Villa Road, Singapore 119187


Labrador Nature Reserve, know also as Labrador Park, is located in the southern tip of Singapore. It has a rocky sea-cliff coastal line where the public can enjoy the sea views and sea breeze. 

Labrador Nature Reserve is connected to the Southern Ridges, which spans other green areas such as Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, and Kent Ridge Park. This coastal park allows a great view of the cable cars bobbling from Mount Faber to Harbourfront Centre, and all the way to Sentosa Island. 

The views during sunset is also not to be missed, and it is also a place to watch the ferries and large holiday cruises.

Labrador Nature Reserve was an important World War II site. Check out the war remnants of British military battlement, including gun posts and artillery pieces.

Things to do: Jogging, coastal walk, historical/ heritage walk (NParks organises Heritage Trails & Guided Tours), bird watching, dining and picnics, barbequing, and fishing.

Labrador Nature Reserve opening hours: 7:00 am to 7:00 pm daily.
The nearest MRT Station is Labrador Park MRT station.

Photos of The Month (January 2022) - Downtown Core, Singapore

 

First day of the year 2022 and it was one of the coldest day of the year (in Singapore), and it was raining all day. When the rain finally downsized to a drizzle, we decided spent some time at Downtown Core Singapore. 

Took some photos and short videos of the beautiful night sceneries.
