Fort Canning Park, an iconic hilltop landmark has witnessed many of Singapore’s historical milestones. The hill once sited the palaces of 14th century Kings and served as the Headquarters of the Far East Command Centre and British Army Barracks. The decision to surrender Singapore to the Japanese on 15 February 1942 was also made on the hill, in the Underground Far East Command Centre, commonly known as Battle Box.

A hilltop landmark that has witnessed many of Singapore’s historical milestones, Fort Canning Park has become a popular running spot if you want to challenge yourself, and indulge in a bit of strengthening – thanks to the many stairs and slopes on the trail. If you’d prefer a longer run, and really want to push yourself, try combining the run at Gardens by the Bay with Fort Canning Park for about a 5 km route.
