Chestnut Nature Park, located in the north-west of Singapore, is the country’s largest
nature park, spanning over 80 hectares. It is divided into two sections – the northern and
southern zones – offering a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking,
and birdwatching. This park is perfect for adventure seekers, fitness lovers, and families
who want to enjoy Singapore’s natural landscape away from the city.
Home to lush secondary forests, native flora, and wildlife, Chestnut Nature Park is also
part of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, serving as an important green buffer zone.
