Located off Venus Drive in Upper Thomson, the Windsor Nature Park is the sixth, and newest, nature park in Singapore.

There, you'll get to explore a series of family-friendly boardwalks and trails, encounter rare native plants as well as a marsh habitat and freshwater streams.

Besides providing a new recreational site for people, the 75-hectare green space also acts as a green buffer for the Central Catchment Nature Reserve — providing a nifty ecological link between the Lower Peirce and MacRitchie Reservoir Parks.

Here are some of the key things to check out there:

Hanguana Trail

Here, you can find newly discovered native forest plants and plants named after Singapore, such as the Singapore Ginger (Zingiber singapurense):

and the Singapore Durian (Durio singaporensis):

Marsh habitat

Look out for the rich diversity of dragonflies:

Frogs:

And other freshwater wildlife.

And take a stroll along the boardwalk, and study the fish swimming in the freshwater streams like this one:

Drongo Trail

This is the first sub-canopy walk in the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, which connects to the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk.

Named after the birds with long forked tails, you might get to see one of them, like this Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, if you are lucky:

Here's a photo montage from Senior Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee of other creatures you could look out for at the new park:

Images from yesterday morning's official opening of Windsor Nature Park. The Hanguana Trail is named after Hanguana, a genus of flowering herbs that typically grow in the shade of tropical forests in Southeast Asia. Four species of Hanguana are native to Singapore's forests, and of these four, three were only discovered in recent years. Two species, Hanguana rubinea and Hanguana neglecta, along with many other native plants, have been planted along the Hanguana Trail. #WindsorNaturePark #VenusLoop #CentralCatchmentNatureReserve #CCNR #Singapore #NParksBuzz #exploreSG #exploreSingapore #SGIG #visitsingapore #yoursingapore
