BUSH TO COAST MANNING PARK AT HAMILTON HILL Jesslyn Chua Jia Xin Emulating the success of the Bold Park bush to coast trail, Manning Park seeks to offer a captivating bush to coast trail of similar dimensions. Clear and thorough analysis is presented on varying historical wetlands. The trail seeks to educate its users, culturally and ecologically. It runs through existing wetlands and stormwater sumps that mimic a wetland by revegetating the trail with wetland flora. Manning park serves as a transitional platform for the vegetation from that of bushland to coastal through the use of endemic vegetation.
