[Park] Sembawang Park: A view of Sembawang Shipyard



I had intended to start my round of cycling at Sembawang Park and head south. But I ended up cycling all around the park instead. 


Hand to heart, I was totally mesmerised by the place. I arrived at the park pretty close to dusk and was in two minds whether to continue with my cycling expedition as it was drizzling. I was thankful that I proceeded as planned as I rediscovered the charms of Sembawang. I'd spent part of my life in this area as I was from the Boys' Brigade and their campsite was just around the corner. That's another story for another day. The park itself is not well visited and thus totally serene.


On top of that, the after-rain air was refreshing. I even tried to take in an extra breath or two to shake my lungs to life! Located in that area are barbecue pits and rest shelters. There is also a jetty where anglers launched their line in hope of catching substantial amount of fish. Others were social anglers who were there to socialise with their other angler friends.


Just to the left of the jetty sits Sembawang Shipyard which was formerly the mighty Sembawang Naval Base - a crown jewel to "The Gibaltar of the East".
