Central Catchment Nature Reserve

Central Catchment Nature Reserve

The Central Catchment Nature Reserve (Chinese: 中央集水区自然保护区) is the largest nature reserve in Singapore, forming a large green lung in the geographical centre of the city. Concurrently acting as a catchment area for four reservoirs within its boundaries, it also houses several recreational sites, including the Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari, as well as several newer facilities built to encourage public appreciation of the reserve, such as the Jelutong Tower and the TreeTop Walk.
