Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park

Every place in Singapore that we visit has had something new, interesting and/or attractive to explore. We're well past only seeing sites that are featured in guidebooks. Last Sunday, we picked out a large park — the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park — in the center of the island. This recently developed land follows a meandering river that drains the Lower Peirce Reservoir. We entered at the eastern end, near the Bishan MRT stop, and walked the 2+ mile length of the park, ending at the reservoir (seen in the final photo). Along the way, among other features, we passed a playground, a wading area, the biggest stone reflexology path we've ever seen, and a wonderful pond filled with water lilies. As always, the weather was warm and very humid, and so the park grounds weren't crowded. (This condition is in stark contrast to the many air-conditioned shopping malls that are completely jammed with people, especially on weekends.)
