Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Kent Ridge Park is a 47-hectare public park located in the southwestern part of Singapore, known for its rich biodiversity and historical significance. The park is part of the Southern Ridges, which includes a 10-kilometer trail connecting several other parks in the region. Historically, it was the site of one of the last battles for Singapore during World War II, and this legacy is preserved with educational signs and a small museum. The park features a range of terrains from open lawns to dense secondary forest, providing habitats for numerous bird species, butterflies, and small mammals. Recreational opportunities include leisurely walks along the elevated Canopy Walk, which offers stunning views over the city and the parks below, and exploration of natural heritage sites. Its close proximity to urban areas makes Kent Ridge Park an accessible destination for both locals and tourists seeking a break in nature.
