NParks Coast-to-Coast Trail

Go on an Adventure from Coast-to-Coast

Do you enjoy taking nice long walks in lush greenery, or exploring the outdoor spaces around you? Then visit the Coast-to-Coast (C2C) Trail (Central) for a curated walking experience across the island!

The Coast-to-Coast Trail (Central) is a 36 km trail that spans across Singapore, linking up nature areas, parks and park connectors from Jurong Lake Gardens in the west, the new Lornie Nature Corridor near the centre, and to Coney Island Park in the northeast.

You can choose to explore the Trail on your own using the the NEAR Mobile App or C2C (Central) online Trail Guide.

The NParks-AIA Explore A Route Challenge is now on from 20 May to 20 July 2022. Participate in the Challenge and stand to win really attractive prizes, such as Decathlon e-vouchers, Fitbit Sense smartwatches, and 13" MacBook Air laptops! Read on for more information.
