Library @ Republic Polytechnic
The library at Republic Polytechnic is truly magnificent, and it is even bigger than the National Library at Causeway Point. Best part? It almost always has tons of seats available, and it is open to the public. 

Woodlands Town Park
The Woodlands town garden used to be a bustling hot-spot for couples and families to conjugate during the weekend, or for soon-to-be-weds to conduct their wedding photo shoots along the gorgeous lake. Now, the park is as dead as it can be.

Woodlands 24hr Gym
Yup, a 24 hours gym for those who wants to work it out in the middle of the night, or just for those who can’t sleep and who needs to sweat it out a little. Located at Ace Community Centre, Anytime Fitness truly lives up to its name.
