Thrills and spills

For those seeking an adrenalin rush, there are parks offering a myriad of exciting sports and rugged pursuits.

Go wild at the Forest Adventure in Bedok Reservoir Park. This aerial course gives participants the chance to manoeuvre among the trees and over water using swings, nets, trapezes and slides. Or zip round the lagoon at Singapore’s first cable ski facility, Ski 360°, in East Coast Park.

The park connectors too have been a favourite among the active crowd. The Eastern Coastal PCN was the venue for Asia’s first night ultra marathon, the Adidas Sundown Marathon, in May 2008. In August, skating enthusiasts gathered at East Coast Park for the first Park Connector Nightskate which covered the Siglap, Tampines and Pasir Ris park connectors.

East Coast Park’s “Energy Zone” exhilarates with high-powered amenities like cable ski and extreme sports.
