Ollie Walk: Woodlands Heritage Trail & Food Republic Dinner

Join us for a scenic northern heartland adventure as we explore the official Walking Trails @ CDC: Woodlands (Heritage Edition). We will cover an overall walking route distance of \~5km at a comfortable, conversational pace. The trail takes us through coastal views, historic waterfront landmarks, and peaceful neighbourhood green spaces before concluding near Marsiling Lane Market. Afterwards, we will head over to an airconditioned food court for a rewarding post-event feast!
