Singapore is a compact city, but you do not need to stay on the main roads to see it. The Park Connector Network, or PCN, is a web of green routes that link parks, waterways and the coast. It is run by NParks, and it works well for walkers and cyclists alike.

What is the PCN?

NParks describes it as a large interlinking network of park connectors that lets you "park hop" across the island. LTA says there are over 730km of cycling paths and park connectors across Singapore. You do not need to cover a long distance. Many visitors pick one short stretch and enjoy it.

Four themed loops

NParks' website groups routes into thematic loops, which is a handy way to plan:

  • Central Urban Loop
  • North Eastern Riverine Loop
  • Western Adventure Loop
  • Round Island Route

You can also browse by area. The NParks list gives each connector's length, so you can match the route to your energy.
