Pasir Ris, like many other Singaporean neighbourhoods, was formerly a kampung before being transformed into residential estates and recreational places we have come to know and love like Downtown East and Wild Wild Wet. Even after its sophisticated makeover, this peaceful part of town remains a relaxing retreat for locals and nature enthusiasts. Here is a list of things you can do to have fun in Pasir Ris.
