TreeTop Walk (via Windsor Nature Park) | SingaporeIsland

The TreeTop Walk is the highlight of several long hiking routes in MacRitchie that brings you through the different stages of a mature secondary forest. The first of its kind in Singapore and in the region, this free-standing suspension bridge connects the two highest points (Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang) in MacRitchie and offers a bird's eye view of the community of plants and animals that live in the forest canopy. The total length of the walkway is about 250 m and its height from the forest floor varies, with the highest point at 25 m. The TreeTop Walk was officially launched by the Minister of State for Finance and Transport, Mrs. Lim Hwee Hua, on 5 November 2004. The event also marked the start of another collaboration between NParks and HSBC that will reap benefits for the community. The TreeTop Walk was closed since October 2020 for maintenance works and after having been closed for most of 2021, the TreeTop Walk is finally open on 15 December 2021. Besides providing another avenue for nature recreation for Singaporeans, the TreeTop Walk also plays an important role in forest canopy research, an area many researchers were not able to get into because of lack of access. This bridge will help to facilitate surveys and plant identification work and further our understanding of how forest ecosystems work. In the event of inclement weather, the TreeTop Walk may be closed for safety reasons and we are unable to allow entry. (Source: NParks) Website: https://www.nparks.gov.sg/gardens-par...
