Your Guide to NParks Coast-to-Coast Trail NParks Coast-to-Coast Trail

Hi there! I am Phil, a leaf from the native Broad-leaved Sterculia (Sterculia macrophylla).

Join me as I guide you through a curated walking experience along the Coast- to-Coast Trail, a 36 km route that spans across stretching from Lake Gardens in the west to Coney Island Park in the northeast.

Choose to explore the Trail on your own using this Trail guide or download the Coast-to-Coast Trail mobile app for a more immersive experience to discover parks, park connectors, nature areas, places of interest and local flora and fauna.

Visit the 10 checkpoints demarcated with checkpoint markers like the one on the right. Scan the animal characters on them with the Augmented Reality setting in the app and watch them come to life on your phone! My furry and feathered friends will not only share nuggets of information on themselves, but also on the area around them.

From logging in to the app, to checking in at any of the 10 checkpoints, completing quests, sharing your experiences in the app and on social media, or finding “hidden fruits”, there is a wealth of opportunities to earn rewards points! Your hard-earned points can be converted into exciting rewards from our tenants and partners!

To download the app and for more information on the Coast-to-Coast Trail, visit www.nparks.gov.sg/c2c. NParks Coast-to-Coast Trail
