MacRitchie Reservoir
The MacRitchie Reservoir Park in Macritchie
Nature trips are often about getting
down and dirty, and being rugged for nature’s sake. But, there’s still more to
that than meets the eye. You’ll have to really experience something from it to
see what value you can take away and give back to Nature. That’s why MacRitchie Reservoir is
here to take you there.
Of course, the fastest, cheapest,
and easiest way to reach the MacRitchie Reservoir is via MRT. The nearest MRT
station is at any of these MRT stations: Caldecott / Toa Payoh /
Ang Mo Kio / Bishan / Marymount. It’s certainly a quick walk – a good prelude
to the nonstop walk and hike that’s about to happen. It will take around 10-15
minutes from these. You can also do a combination of MRT and bus: 132, 163,
165, 166, 167, 640, 52 or 980.
One of the greatest facts about this
place is that MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir. Dating back
1868, it certainly has so much history and story to share, and you will feel
these as you walk along the trails. Considering this and the fact that it’s a
reservoir turned nature trail, the good thing about this is that it neither
looks old nor dirty at all. It’s a vast, scenic embrace of nature and
cleanliness is just too remarkable not to notice.
Aside from the obvious detail that there’s a great balance of nature and carefulness around the MacRitchie Reservoir Park - from the nature trails, heritage trails, guided tours, fishing options, tree top walk, running routes and resting areas, the place shows favor to the people who want to experience the place. Also, even in its simplest and plainest form, the reservoir shares interpretative signboards to make sure people are guided and safe. This shows how much they encourage people to fully enjoy the place. It’s a great place for meet ups, family gatherings, solo soul searching walks, couple adventures, and quiet afternoon leisure moments. Without question, these things make the MacRitchie Reservoir one of the best parks to see in Singapore.
