Description
Begin your workout at the UBS AG Taxi Stand, right at the base of the hill. Jog over to the iconic Fort Canning Tree Tunnel, where a spiral staircase frames lush greenery, for an early, high-impact photo stop. Power-climb the terraced slopes toward the BattleBox, a subterranean British command bunker hidden deep inside the hillside. Loop around the Old Fort Canning Reservoir, an elevated historic water storage site defining the upper apex of the park. Scale the remaining interior flights to explore the Heritage Gallery, with exhibits detailing the ancient spice trade and military timelines. Step past the gothic-style memorial headstones and brick pathways of the Old Christian Cemetery, managed by early colonial architects. Push through the multi-tiered excavation grounds of the Old Archaeological Site, where 14th-century artifacts and royal Javanese relics were unearthed. Reach the summit plateau to view the replica of Sir Stamford Raffles' 1822 hilltop bungalow and surrounding spice gardens. Conclude your workout by descending the outer stairs toward the Hill Street Old Police Station, a striking, rainbow-shuttered national monument.Includes
