It is midway through our summer break and the NUS Res Life team has concocted yet another list for you! This week, we will be exploring fun outdoor activities that you can do this holiday.
#1 Nature Trails
Getting fit and being outdoors is becoming increasingly trendy, and that isn’t such a bad thing! To bask in all those health benefits of being outdoors, put on some trainers and head off for a hike at one of Singapore’s many nature trails. Be it Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Coney Island Park, or TreeTop Walk, getting some Vitamin D into your body is always a good thing, not to mention burning some calories and feeling good about it afterward.
#2 Open Farm Community
Open Farm Community is a new dining concept in Singapore that encourages and introduces local farming to the masses. Apart from getting an organic meal here, you can learn more about Singapore’s little-known farming activities and how to get local produce – all at this quaint little place.
#3 Chestnut Nature Park
The Chestnut Nature Park is Singapore’s newest and largest nature park to date! If you have been to all of Singapore’s nature parks already, make sure you check this one off the list too! Nothing beats a new place to hike and some sunshine!
#4 Tampines Quarry
The Tampines Quarry is a secret hideout in the east, perfect for a chill day outdoors. Here, you can see people flying their drones, biking and fishing. If you are not into any of these activities, this little park will be a quiet reprieve from the hustle and bustle of the city. So grab a drink and a friend, and perhaps spend the evening people watching!
#5 Outdoor Picnics
Picnics are a fun activity that you can do with your friends and family. It will be a full day of bonding, from the preparation of food to the picnic itself, a picnic will definitely provide quality time for you and your loved ones. So pack up a picnic basket and head to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, or Marina Barrage, or any park of your choosing and have the best day out!
So what are you waiting for? Head outdoors this summer and create those amazing summer memories!
