clementi woods park and woodball

my morning walk this morning took me to clementi woods park. i discovered that it is quite a large park - about 12 hectares. a lot of red bricks and a lot of circular structures and shelters. the terrain is a bit undulating. so, although the distance for walking is not great, the ups and downs will cause you to expend quite a lot of energy.

there is a 2-storey building within the park, housing the halal sakura restaurant . they charge adults $20 for buffet lunch and $24 for buffet dinner. kids pay $12 for their meals. from the top of the restaurant, you can look out to the sea and see the power stations in the distance.

if you drive, the entrance to the park is just before the japanese school. parking space is available behind the restaurant.

another thing i found out is that woodball is played in this park. decided to find out what this game is all about.

woodball originated in taiwan. the game is played with a single wooden club and a wooden ball. the objective is to complete the course of 24 gates by striking a wooden ball with a wooden club from the tee box through the gate within the fairways. the game is played in flights of four and the winner will be the player who takes the least strokes to complete the game.
