Springleaf Nature Park: A Short Walk from the MRT

NParks puts the park at Nee Soon Road and Upper Thomson Road. Its directions describe a 550m walk along Upper Thomson Road, passing the Shell petrol station. Follow the pavement and crossings to the park entrance.

That is roughly 1.1km of station approach for the return trip, before any walking inside. If you are meeting someone, send the park pin as well as the station name. Parking charges apply; NParks lists 21 car spaces and one accessible space.

Keep this one simple: follow the designated riverside path, stop for the water and greenery, then head back when you are ready. Walking, jogging and cycling are listed activities. This is a compact nature break, not a long forest trek with a summit at the end.

We would pair it with a meal around Upper Thomson rather than trying to stretch it into a half-day hike. Choose the restaurant separately and check its opening hours before leaving the station.

Want a longer waterside walk? The adjoining Springleaf Park Connector runs 1.2km between Upper Thomson Road and Lentor Avenue. Treat that as an optional extension, separate from the small nature-park visit.

The park is listed as open 24 hours and wheelchair accessible. For a first visit, go in daylight; check the station-to-park approach separately if you need a step-free route. Bring water and stay on the designated paths. Fishing is not permitted.
