Sungei Buloh became Singapore's first ASEAN Heritage Park in 2003. There are 3 routes in Sungei ranging from 500m to 7km. Sungei Buloh welcomes you 365 days a year to watch the birds in natural setting.

2. Pasir Ris Park

Developed on reclaimed land, this coastal park is the one of the largest parks in Singapore. The distinguishing feature of this park is the carefully preserved 6-ha mangrove forest. Boardwalks built into the mangrove brings you closer to the inhabitants of the mangrove community, which includes mud crabs, mudskippers and mangrove trees such as Rhizophora and Bruguiera. Birdwatchers will be able to see birds perching on tree branches from the
3-storey high Bird Watching Tower.

 
3. Fort Canning Park
 
Website: http://www.nparks.gov.sg
Tel: 6471 7808
 

Fort Canning is the most historic part of Singapore. Malay and Chinese historical records point to this hill as the centre of a kingdom that arose around AD1300. The royal palace of ancient Malay rulers probably stood on the summit of this once "Forbidden Hill". Begin your 14th century walk near the Keramat Iskandar Syah. Take a leisurely stroll back in time, to the era of the five kings and the golden age of 14th-century Singapore.

 
4. Kent Ridge Park
 
Website: http://www.nparks.gov.sg
Tel: 6471 7808
 

The design of the park takes full advantage of the natural vegetation and topography of the site. Various look-out points offer visitors magnificent views of the off-shore islands like Pulau Duran Darat.

Activities include bird watching, canopy walk and nature walks.
