TGIF! #DidYouKnow you can go kayaking and dragon-boating at Rower’s Bay Park in Lower Seletar Reservoir?

This scenic park is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of the city and, if you’re lucky, you might even spot grey herons or copper-cheeked frogs! It’s an idyllic and serene spot for joggers, cyclists and nature-lovers all around. Definitely worth visiting!
