Hi,
The enterance to Tampines Mountain Biking Trail is oppsite the Sun Plaza Park along the road side of Tampines Ave 9.... It is a large area and I think will be very, very dark at night and I don't recommend anyone to go there alone....

Hi,aquacocoa85 wrote:Hey people,
Kinda occured to me that top levels of multi-storey car parks make pretty good observation sites. Although some may be gently lighted, nice concrete floor makes it rather pleasant. The other place that i thought seemed quite good was rooftop access to buildings. Trying to get some on my condo so that i can go up there and take a look but even from the staircase well, at 10 floors, the views are rather stunning. Any one has comments on these two places? Just thought that these two places are rather accessible so makes viewing more convenient. I'm just a beginner so my judgement may be wrong.
Any Comments?

When I'm not at Dempsey or SP, I normally observe alone at my multistorey car park roof top. Its convenient, clean, no mosquitoes and solid ground. No one parks there. Only disadvantage is I am surrounded by buildings , so can only see about 50-60 deg above horizon!
I did a survey and found one or 2 car parks with clear east view but unfortunately, instead of normal street lights, they have low positioned lights instead which is very glaring at ground level.
Else a car park is a good place to observe. drivers can actually drive all the way up !
