Windsor Nature Park

 

Windsor Nature Park is located on the eastern side of Singapore’s Central Catchment Nature Reserve (CCNR). While it is currently predominantly a regenerating secondary forest, much of the land once served as a rubber plantation. Up until the 1950s, kampong villages and remnants of an aquatic plant farm existed on site. Visitors familiar with the area would take a natural trail leading to the TreeTop Walk, a key attraction in MacRitchie. The planning of the nature park is based on three objectives put forth at its inception: (a) strengthening the integrity of the CCNR through preservation of a green buffer that protects the nature reserve core from surrounding urban impacts; (b) providing enhanced recreational possibilities in a natural environment; and (c) promoting appreciation of Singapore’s natural and cultural heritage through education and community involvement.
