Ris Park Mangrove Boardwalk
6ha
mangroves with boardwalk and 3-storey high birdwatching tower.
At 71ha, this coastal
park is one of Singapore's largest parks. Developed along the coast
on reclaimed land, the park includes a 6ha mangrove swamp that was
spared from reclamation.
The Mangrove Boardwalks have recently been upgraded. They bring you
right through the dense mangrove forest for a closer look at the plants
and animals of the back mangroves. These include mud crabs, mudskippers
and mangrove trees such as Rhizophora and Bruguiera. Birdwatchers
will be able to see birds perching on tree branches from the 3-storey
high Bird Watching Tower.
The walk is well marked and there are lots of informative signs along
the route. A night visit of the boardwalks is particularly interesting.
You might be rewarded with rare sights of fireflies (here and there)
and shy watersnakes in the mud.
The Park also includes a large manicured portion with playgrounds
-- a giant space-net, cableways, innovative play stations and a maze
garden, guaranteed to provide hours of fun and laughter. There are
also cycling and jogging tracks, exercise stations.
The beach-front restaurants also provide a well-deserved meal after
a walk through the mangroves.
Guided walks are held on an adhoc basis by the Green
Volunteers Network. GVN also organises mangrove cleanups at Pasir
Ris Park. |
