Jurong Park Connector

Jurong Park Connector

The bit of Jurong Park Connector from SAFRA Jurong to Jurong Bird Park is an isolated stretch of public park. This narrow route took me about fifteen minutes to cycle from one end to another, at a leisurely pace with plenty of photo stops.

What can you see along this scene of the Jurong Park Connector?

From SAFRA Jurong, the Jurong Park Connector passes through an industrial backyard of factories made of light and medium industries that keeps Singapore Inc humming along. Instead of children playground and fitness stations, one will see dilapidated buildings and empty drainage canals.

It feels like a museum of sorts, where heavy machinery of various kinds like tunneling pipes, cranes or metal parts tucked behind factory buildings can be seen.

There are two shelters parked along this stretch of Jurong Park Connector, although I wonder who would use them in this quiet scene of Singapore.

Initially I thought that I could cycle along Jurong Park Connector all the way to Singapore Jurong Bird Park. However an overhead pedestrian bridge put paid to those thoughts. I would have to lift and carry my bike up and down long flights of steps to cross the Jalan Ahmad Ibrahim expressway.

Jurong Park Connector IPPT Route

Jurong Park Connector IPPT Route

If you wander around Jurong Central Park, you can't miss the new futuristic-looking SAFRA Jurong Club house. Along the Jurong Park Connector that lines the canal, you will find this IPPT (individual physical proficiency test) 2.4-km run route marked out on the park connector track.

There is a sign board displaying the various test stations of IPPT with a map of this route. Fit NSmen who perform the annual pilgrimage to IPPT test centres throughout Singapore now have a new training ground at SAFRA Jurong to work out.

This Jurong Park Connector IPPT route starts and ends along part of the Jurong Park Connector network. The route takes runners into a maze-like run within the Jurong Central Park.

After your run along the IPPT track, you can cool off at the Jurong Shopping Centre
across the road.
