Shreya NairLooking to breathe in some fresh air as you head to Changi Airport? The Changi Airport Group has opened the Changi Airport Connector. It is a 3.5-kilometer cycling and jogging track that links Changi Airport to East Coast Park and the Park Connector Network (PCN).
Visitors and the airport community can cycle or jog to the airport, with convenient access onwards to Jewel Changi Airport and the terminals. This new path is a great place for recreational activities and an excellent way for both locals and tourists to explore the rich charm that the east coast has to offer.
“Changi Jurassic Mile”
The displays along the path are going to be a treat for all those Jurassic Park fans! The Changi Airport Connector is also home to the Changi Jurassic Mile – Singapore’s newest and largest permanent outdoor display of life-sized dinosaurs.
The displays can be seen along the one-kilometer pathway and contain more than 20 different pre-historic creatures from nine species. From a towering Tyrannosaurus Rex to gigantic dinosaur eggs, visitors are sure to be greatly impressed by the majestic display.
