Duxton Plain Park

Walked down this narrow, tree lined, green path flanked by the Duxton shop house eateries - exiting at Duxton Plain Park! It was a peaceful/serene walk in the heart of bustling Duxton. Some of the shop houses are painted in eye catching colours. Came across a strange sight .. a solitary Muslim tomb on the grassway… which seems to be frequented by believers (I read later that it is believed to hold special powers)!! A short but interesting walk.

There is such a pleasant neighborhood vibe at this park. Great for exercising, people watching and even just sitting down to rest. You'll find exercise stations with fun things to keep you fit. There are swinging benches and shady or sunny areas. A very nice link through neighborhoods.

On my first holiday day in Singapore, I 'accidentally' found this park, venturing off Chinatown. I'm an avid bird watcher and was very happy to spot six types of birds, including some kind of woodpecker. Loved it!
