Top skate parks for adrenaline junkies

6th February 2020 by Expat Living 2 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/skating-in-singapore-top-skate-parks-for-teens-and-adrenaline-junkies/

If you or your teen is the outdoorsy, adrenaline-chasing sort, chances are they’ve been toting around a skateboard (or asking for one!). Don’t worry, they won’t have to go too far to find an ideal spot for learning tricks – Singapore has a number of well-equipped dedicated skate parks around the island. We sniffed out the best places to kick, flip and make new friends at.

Somerset Skate Park

1 Somerset Road

Located just outside of Somerset MRT, the grungy graffiti-covered skate park has a multitude of ramps, rails and tough obstacles that are enjoyed by local and expat adolescents alike. It’s a popular attraction for skaters from all corners of Singapore, thanks to its central location and bevy of shops, cafes and entertainment spots to head off to after.

Skatepark Singapore - orchard

Xtreme SkatePark

East Coast Park, near carpark F1

As its name suggests, this skate park – the first to have popped up on the island – caters to all kinds of skill levels. Surrounded by East Coast’s lush greenery, it’s been built to international competitive standards and suits beginners as well as seasoned skaters and BMX bikers. The 1.4-hectare compound includes a street course, combo bowl and a vertical bowl for gravity-defying tricks and lightning-quick cruising.

Bishan Harmony Park Skate Park

Beside Block 102, Bishan Street 12

Equipped with all the essentials, this skate park in the heartlands boasts ramps, a large bowl and plenty of flat space – great for newbies to practice and more experienced skaters to conquer complex tricks. It’s also fairly easy to get to, being a stone’s throw from Bishan MRT.

Woodlands Skatepark

Woodlands Drive 50

This modestly sized skate park located minutes away from Woodlands MRT has ramps and rails for showing off your gnarliest tricks. A good number of teens and younger amateur skateboarders flock here on evenings to mingle and practice manoeuvring.

Sports Hub Skate Park

1 Stadium Drive

Located near Gate 14 of the National Stadium, this skate park features a variety of basic obstacles – rails, a fun-box and mini quarter-pipes – that are suitable for both beginners and professionals to practice moves.

Kallang Skatepark

Buangkok Skatepark

983 Buangkok Crescent

Situated within Buangkok Sports Park, this decently sized skate park has half- and quarter-pipes and rails for riding and showing off cool tricks. If you’re just starting out and need all the space you can get to practice, there’s a huge flat space in the middle, with the obstacles lining the sides of the park.

Chinese Gardens Lakeside Skatepark

1 Chinese Garden Road

With obstacles like a flat rail and a half-pipe, this small skate park located within the Chinese Gardens is perfect for beginners as well as those just looking for a place in the West to skate.

Don’t we all love a home makeover! 

If you are looking for some easy, low-commitment ways to spruce up your home for the new year we have six tips on how to do a home makeover from Caroline Chin Geyler (link on our stories) she’s the founder and principal stylist of award-winning interior styling firm Arete Culture. 

The company is a four-time Gold Winner in our Expat Living Readers’ Choice Awards (2017-2020) in the interior design and home styling category so they certainly know their stuff. 

As well as some fab tips she’s offering a special Chinese New Year makeover offer, too. At last our homes can look as stunning as these do @areteculture

Guys: did you know that your skin is structurally different from that of ladies? For most men, androgen (testosterone) stimulation results in skin that’s thicker and tougher than women’s skin. This also means you might need something more than just your wife’s, mum’s or sister’s moisturiser or face wash! 

Lumin was founded on this concept; this California-based online store offers simple yet effective skincare for men, tailored to different skin types and concerns. So, whether you’re looking for a good face cleanser or a moisturiser for men, this is one brand to check out.

To differentiate Lumin from other men’s skincare brands, founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani flew to South Korea to work on formulas that benefit the thicker and more stubborn skin constructs of men. Most of the ingredients used are powerful plant-based extracts like ginger root, rosemary, coffee and shea butter. The paraben-free and cruelty-free brand also makes a point of avoiding unnecessary nasties commonly associated with popular off-the-shelf products.

If it’s your first time shopping for men’s skincare, you’ll be glad to know that the Lumin experience is simple and fuss-free. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you’ll get a personalised skincare regime that’s suited to your skin type and lifestyle. You can choose to go with a one-time purchase or have your products delivered on a subscription basis. Alternatively, shop from the curated range of skincare sets catered to different budgets and preferences.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!
