Thomson Nature Park’s Family-Friendly Rules
Before you set out on your adventure, it’s essential to know the do’s and don’ts:
- Sorry, but no pets are allowed in the park. It’s for the safety of everyone and the wildlife.
- While the park is a playground for the senses, fishing is off the menu. No need to bring fishing gear; the park’s critters prefer their peace and quiet.
- Leave the wheels behind! Bicycles, skates, skateboards, and motorized mobility devices are a no-go. Instead, let your feet take you on an exciting journey through the park.
How to Get There
Getting to the park is a breeze:
– By Bus: Hop on buses 138, 138A, 167, 169, 860, or 980 and alight at either “Aft Tagore Dr” or “Bef Tagore Dr.”
– By MRT: If you’re taking the MRT, Lentor MRT Station is your station. A short walk from there, and you’re at the park’s entrance.
– By Car: For those on four wheels, there’s a dedicated car park just 200 meters from the “Aft Tagore Dr” bus stop.
Operating Hours and Safety Tips
The park is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., ensuring you have plenty of time to explore. However, after 7 p.m., the park becomes a cosy home for the nocturnal creatures, so you can’t hang around.
Remember, safety comes first! If the weather turns unexpectedly, seek shelter nearby and avoid venturing into forested areas. Before you set out, dial 65427788 for a weather forecast to plan your adventure smartly.
