Morning Jog to Kranji Reservoir Park

This morning, I did another morning jog from my home to Kranji Rerservoir Park. In order to get there, I was running past Woodlands Road, Kranji Road, followed by Kranji Industrial Estate, before crossing the Kranji Dam (looks like a causeway to Malaysia) to reach the other side of Kranji Reservoir Park.

Kranji Reservoir Park is actually quite near Sungei Buloh Reserve and the only public transport is SMRT bus 925 which operates from either Woodlands or Choa Chu Kang.

The place was opened for fishing in 1985 with 2 fishing grounds A and B opened daily from 7am to 7pm. One can also find a war memorial plaque at the park commemorating the battle of Kranji during WW2. Other than that, the place also offers a panoramic view of Johor Straits.
