Dairy Farm Nature Park, located in the northwestern region of Singapore, is a tranquil
haven for outdoor enthusiasts. Once a real dairy farm, the park is now a lush nature
reserve offering scenic walking trails, rich biodiversity, and historical charm. It’s best
known for the Wallace Trail, inspired by naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who conducted
research in the region during the 19th century.
The park features a perfect mix of nature and heritage, from forested paths to the restored
Dairy Farm Quarry, a popular spot for photographers and rock enthusiasts. Visitors can
enjoy leisurely hikes, birdwatching, and educational exhibits about Singapore’s natural
history.
