Singapore, our 710.2km² modern city, has managed to fit in everything a country needs to survive and more. Amazingly, she has also incorporated a large variety of sports and adventure facilities and attractions to both locals and foreigners. Wherever you go in our garden city, one can always find people playing their favourite sports or training for their next big sports event. Here are some examples of attractions or facilities which can be found in Singapore:

Reservoirs – Singapore has very little land to collect rainwater and no natural aquifers or lakes. Instead, 15 reservoirs have been created to collect and store water for use. As most of them are located around forested areas, it makes sense to turn them into recreational or sports areas. For example, MacRitchie Reservoir offers tracks which can bring the runner closer to nature as you would be running along well-maintained tracks inside the forest! Also, it contains the HSBC Treetop Walk, a suspension bridge which allows one to view the scenery of the forest. Another example is Bedok Reservoir, another location for adventure as it has a high element rope course.

Stadiums – Singapore has many stadiums, notably the Singapore Indoor Stadium (SIS) and Kallang Stadium. Its top notch equipment and facilities ensure that athletes who train there get the most out of their training. Many international events have also been held in Singapore, for example the SEA Games and even the upcoming Youth Olympic Games.

Park Connector Network – Singapore has many specially constructed paths laid strategically around the island for cyclists and joggers alike to exercise hassle-free and safely. As the name suggests it connects many parks such that one can enjoy the sights and sounds only Mother Nature can offer.

Parks – The Garden City has many parks scattered around the island, with the most famous being East Coast Park and West Coast Park. Adventure seekers can satisfy their adrenaline needs with a newly constructed skate park, or even rent a bicycle or learn how to roller blade to traverse the long-distance roads, which hugs the coastline. Also, East Coast Park has been used as part of the route for various marathons like the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon.
