The Southern Ridges links hill parks and walking routes, so plan a suitable section rather than treating the advertised 10-kilometre network as one uninterrupted dog trail. NParks’ guide includes leashed pets, while current Labrador guidance excludes pets from the nature reserve. Choose open park sections, check notices for the exact route and keep your dog on lead. Berlayer Creek Boardwalk is closed for works, with reopening not yet confirmed; it should not be used as a connecting dog walk. Slopes, steps, exposed stretches and the return journey can matter more than distance alone. Carry water and waste bags, build in breaks and choose a short return option that suits your dog. Restaurant and transport admission must be checked separately.

This has been one of my highlights in Singapore and I saw a lot. The extensive gardens are incredibly beautiful and all the trails are well maintained. I recommend coming early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the heat. There are plenty of cafes and water filling stations along the way to have a drink or simply refill your bottle.
Headed for start of Marang Trail at 8am, unfortunately it was threatening to rain come 8.45am. Retreated back to Seah Im Food Centre and feasted on wok hei infused char kway teow. Was contemplating resuming the journey to skip Marang Trail but when I googled, saw notice that it's closed. I called NParks, found out that only certain parts are closed (Marang Forest, Telok Blangah Park, Kent Ridge Park and another place was closed). Abandoned original plans and hoped over to Labrador Park instead
A great walking path. You were not in Singapore if you didn't go there.
