Mount Faber Park & Henderson Wave Bridge
1.5km.21min walk from Telok Blangah Station

Mount Faber Park is notable for its panoramic view of the city and adjoining iconic Henderson Wave Bridge. The place is often used as backdrop for many media releases and wedding shoots. Henderson Wave Bridge connects Telok Blangah Hill Park and Mount Faber Park.

Henderson Waves

Beautiful views on either side of the Bridge. Nearest parking was Telok Blangah Green Carpark 1 is the closest parking to Henderson Waves. Nice long stretch on a slight incline. There are some level segments to just chill and enjoy the view.

Mount Faber Lookout Point
(Unfortunately where the Merlion was, the place was
undergoing renovation works.)

Interesting fact is that here is one of the now 6 Merlions located in Singapore. 

- Mount Faber Merlion (Unfortunately under renovation during time of visit.)
- Sentosa Merlion which has since been or being taken down.
- Original Merlion and Merlion Cub located just behind (As seen from Singapore Duck Tours) x2

- Tourism Court Merlion x1

- The Ang Mo Kio Merlion Twins. x2

There are murals around the base which depict a brief histroy and milestones in Singapore's history.

The Henderson Wave Bridge is definately stroller friendly. However from there to get to Mount Faber lookout station and lookout point are steps and more steps.

If you're good for a little bit of workout and really not much of a view, this would be a fairly light workout. We mostly came across youths to young families taking this route. (Most direct but involves many steps.) If only these steps would bring you to a view from the famous Dragon's Back in Hong Kong.

Total distance covered, about 2.8km with 80m climb and 84m descent. Spent about 2hrs plus to cover the main features.

ABBATip:
For stroller friendly access, follow Mount Faber Road. It has a gentle incline and probably manageable for all ages. About 3/4s of the way there's not much to see but the last quater gets you the view of Keppel Harbour.

You might also be interested in some of
these other iconic parks.

- Bukit Batok Nature park for their rock quarry and a radio tower lookout point which we hadn't done for the view. 

- Lower Pierce Reservoir for a simple walk with various view points. 

- Fort Canning Park more for its historical walk and many focal points and iconic spiral staircase. 

- Lower Seletar is a little more of a hidden gem with a nice water play area and under the flight path of Seletar Airport which too has many cool eateries within.
