CDC Walking Trails Giving FREE Money

 If you love free money like me, you should check out the CDC walking trails (link at the end of the post).

Simply sign up using your phone + Singpass.

Choose a trail and start exploring:

Select one of the 5 trails. For us, we chose the south-east trail, and here is what it looks like below. It is simply a breezy walk along East Coast Park:

Checkpoint 1 was interesting for me and my kid. I never knew there existed a fort at Katong Park! To get here, simply take the TEL line and alight at Katong Park station:

The second checkpoint should be familiar to those with kids. Indeed, my kid was the first to recognize this easy landmark. We had to answer a question about the number of slides here, but it was easy, and the checkpoint cleared!

Checkpoint 3 was an easy landmark for me, having passed by this numerous times. We had to count the number of steps to the top, but it was easy just counting from below. Had an interesting conversation with my kid on what a beacon is and whether this is a lighthouse.

Checkpoint 4 was a harder one, as there were so many breakwaters in the area. Somehow, we got it correct.

Checkpoint 5 was easy; the Siglap Canal Lookout Deck is a familiar landmark. But the added question was not, as we had to answer which estates the Siglap Canal passes through. Somehow, we got it correct on the first try. 

At the end of the trail, you will get $5, plus if you do the bonus quest of finding the ollies along the way, you get another $5, so $10 in total. 

Overall, it was a fun way to spend time with family, get some exercise in, explore a part of Singapore, and earn some kopi money along the way. So it is killing 4 birds in 1 stone, wow 🤩!

Some tips:

• East Coast Park has plenty of vending machines along the way, so it is easy to get drinks
• If you get tired walking, you may want to rent a bike (HelloRide, AnyWheel, etc.)
• Ensure your phone is charged, because you will need GPS and it will consume quite some battery
• Remember to bring enough water, wear a hat, and sunblock
