Sitting in the middle of the entire Rail Corridor trail, this stretch is around four kilometres long, making it easy for many people of all ages to tackle.
Each section of the Rail Corridor (Central) has been curated with a specific theme to complement the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve that is close by.
