โ โ โ โ โ 9 months agoThomson Nature Park was once home to a Hainanese settlement in the 1930s when immigrants from Hainan came to Singapore. First visit on a sunday morning. Quiet scenic park with less foot traffic and clean washrooms. Trails are clearly marked and easy to tread with mostly flat surfaces. Explored the Stream & Ferns Trail, the Langur Trail and the Macque Trail that are near the main entrances. Love the green, serenity, the bird calls, sighting of incests, squirrels and macaques. Spotted the Greater racket-tailed drongo perched quietly on the branch, well blended into the surrounding. Had fun watching it preen its feathers. Shall return to explore the other trails.

โ โ โ โ โ 9 months agoFun little park, it's a bit out of the way, but you can still see a lot of the remnants of old houses in the jungle and also spot a number of interesting animals. We didn't spot the rare monkey breed, but it was a lovely morning hike regardless.
