Delightful Spaces for Leisure and Wellness

Boosting ecological corridors

The region has retained a rustic character with large tracts of greenery around nature reserves, parks and six reservoirs. We will integrate some of these green and blue spaces within our urban environment to become multi-functional spaces that meet social and recreational needs, while improving ecological outcomes.

Connecting new routes with nature

The extensive green and blue network in the region will be better linked to create more recreational opportunities along its waterways.

Kranji Nature Corridor

The Kranji Nature Corridor was conceptualised from NParks’ Ecological Profiling Exercise and connects the core habitats at Central Catchment Nature Reserve and the upcoming Mandai Mangrove and Mudflat Nature Park, along Sungei Mandai and Sungei Pang Sua. The Corridor's green and blue spaces will offer more ways for visitors to experience nature.
