The Park Connector Network (PCN) is a network of walking, running and cycling paths in Singapore that connects the various parks and other green spaces throughout the country. Both the parks and the PCN are managed by National Parks Board (NParks).
As part of the National Cycling Plan to promote cycling, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is also constructing networks of cycling paths around the country. These cycling paths connect with the PCN, enabling people to cycle both within and out of town.
As of 2025, there are 94 individual park connector routes. Most of these park connectors run alongside roads, rivers or canals, as well as underneath MRT viaducts.
