City Trail Adventure

GREEN-HOUSE 2025 X Teva

The City as a Landscape Worth Caring For

Most people who live in Singapore have walked through Fort Canning Park. Fewer have looked closely at what lives there, the flora tucked into its slopes, the fauna that moves through it, the fragile ecology that persists in the middle of a city centre. At GREEN-HOUSE 2025, Teva and Nature Society (Singapore) made that looking the whole point.

The Experience

As part of Teva's For Playground Earth campaign, a global push to inspire a new generation to step outside, seek adventure, and protect the landscapes they move through, GREEN-HOUSE co-hosted the City Trail Adventure at Fort Canning Park.

Participants trialled Teva sandals on actual terrain, joined elite trail runners and environmental specialists for a dynamic warm-up, a trail masterclass, and a guided walk through the park. Along the way, the walk became an education in identifying local species, understanding the pressures on urban green spaces, and practising low-impact trail habits that protect the ground underfoot.

It is easy to think of trail running and eco-conscious outdoor exploration as activities that require remote wilderness. This collaboration made the case that Singapore's city centre is itself a landscape, layered, living, and worth the same care.

Why It Resonates

Outdoor and nature wellness is one of the fastest-growing areas of interest globally, and with good reason. But access and awareness aren't always equal. By bringing trail culture into a familiar urban park, this activation lowered the entry point for runners of all levels, for city dwellers who don't think of themselves as outdoor people, and for anyone who has walked past Fort Canning and never stopped to look.

If that sounds like your audience too, GREEN-HOUSE is a place where that meeting happens naturally. The festival draws people who are already paying attention, and looking for more ways to act on it.
