When we think of Ang Mo Kio, we usually think of the heartlands of Singapore. However, besides HDB estates, there are also a few landed estates dotted around the area, one of which we will be visiting today (Shangri-La Walk.) Today, the area we’re walking around is more famous for having the first and only circular HDB flats in Singapore – The Clover @ Kebun Baru, or Block 259 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2- than for its landed houses. (There’s a shortcut from the housing estate to Block 259, but I’ll leave that for later in the article.) You also need to cross the road to get to Shangri-La Playground. It’s quite sizeable but note that there is no playground located within Shangri-La Walk itself. (It’ll take you less than 5 minutes to walk over.) At the bottom of the stairs, you find a playground and the car park I mentioned at the beginning of the article. (So residents could use this playground instead of crossing the road to get to Shangri-La playground. The Shangri-La one is bigger though.) Now that we’ve finished our walkabout of this small estate, how did you find it? Let me know in the comments and see you again next week!
