MacRitchie Reservoir Park – Singapore
Wiki Shot I was in Singapore a while back, and spent a Saturday morning on a day hike at MacRitchie Reservoir Park . The city / state / country of Singapore has a population of about 5 million in 270 square miles. To compare size and population, New York City has about 50% more people packed into about 15% more land, but Singapore is still a pretty busy place. Nearly one quarter of the country is nature preserve, and MacRitchie is in the central catchment area – a series of reservoirs roughly in the center of the country surrounded by primary and secondary rain forest. This photo from anther blog on Canoe Racing at MacRitchie reminded me of the day I was there. MacRitchie Park , in the middle of the city, acts as an entrance to the 1100 acre central nature preserve area. A beautiful park, it’s built for strolling by the water, exercising on the fitness trails, fishing and just taking a break from the big city. It hosts cross county running races and canoe or kayak
