MacRitchie Reservoir Park

The MacRitchie Reservoir Park is a place of fond memories for many family outings, school excursions, favourite training ground for 2.4km run & marathon participants.

Now, even water-sport lovers can enjoy the water.

There are broadwalks along the edge of the Reservoir, allowing close contact with freshwater wildlife.


As you can see, before entering cooling MacRitchie Lornie Trail or Forest Trail on left, as shown on above immediate picture, it can be quite a sunny walk that a cap or hugh hat is recommended to accompany you on a relaxing walk.


For those who are gamed to explore further, you may try the HSBC TreeTop Walk which is a 250m aerial free standing suspension bridge, and at its highest height of 25m tall, one enjoys a panoramic view of the Reservoirs and surrounding rainforest. It is a long long walk, so please ensure you have a good breakfast or be equipped with simple snacks & drinks, especially so if you are bringing kids along on the excursion.
