Budget & Tips

Even if the practice of sports or outdoor activities involves a certain cost, you will still have the opportunity to stretch your legs and enjoy yourself at an affordable price, or even free of charge. You can easily get away from it all and enjoy nature for a jog, bike or walk, the www.parkconnectornetwork.sg network offers very useful information on the park network with ideas for walks and itineraries on the Southern Ridges or at the Mac Ritchie Reservoir. East Coast Park is the best place for rollerbladers and swimmers to enjoy the pleasures of the seaside with showers and toilets at your disposal. If you prefer to swim in a pool and more modern facilities, www.myactivesg.com offers free video workouts for adults and children and lists municipal pools and gyms.

What's very local

Always very connected, Singaporeans are very fond of meetup groups, which allow you to share passions and hobbies with other people and to be informed via the website www.meetup.com about yoga activities, running, hikes to be planned in a geographical radius to be determined by yourself. At the weekend, head to the island of Sentosa for beach volleyball games with friends, a good way to disconnect from the week's activities.
