Three themed pathways – Communities of Woodlands, Woodlands at War, and A Journey through the Woods – showcasing the region's lesser-known stories have been included into the trail, which was created with community input.

These trail markers are augmented by an additional twenty interpretative signage to enhance visitors' understanding of Sentosa's history.
