A Uniquely Singaporean Outdoor Experience

Wednesday April 30, 2008

The island nation of Singapore is located just north of the equator, and its tropical rain forest climate makes it suitable for some of the most beautiful trees, plants, and flowers to be found anywhere. One of the best places to take in the scenic beauty of the place is Pasir Ris Park, a 71-hectare natural oasis in northeast Singapore complete with nature trails, landscaped gardens, and lush playgrounds. The centerpiece of the park is its six-hectare mangrove forest, which boasts hundreds of the salt-water slurping trees with tentacle-like roots. Raised walkways wind through the forest so you can get up close and personal with the mangroves without getting wet and muddy. If you've still got some energy left after a forest romp, hop into a kayak or canoe for a spin across the water. But a visit to Pasir Ris Park isn't exactly roughing it either, as it boasts plenty of alfresco dining options and all the amenities you'd want to make your afternoon in the "wilds" of Singapore relaxing and comfortable. Starwood has three properties in Singapore: the Sheraton Towers Singapore, the St. Regis Singapore, and Le Méridien Singapore.
