The Lower Peirce Reservoir is one of the oldest reservoirs in Singapore.
This park surrounds Singapore's second-oldest reservoir and is home to a mature secondary rainforest housing different species of native plants.
This commonly seen macaque is one of Singapore's native
monkey species and it is characterised by its long tail.
There are also many other animals such as the White-bellied Sea Eagle, Malayan Water Monitor and Slender Squirrel.
They are mainly arboreal but they also forage on the ground, feeding on both plants and animals.
They usually live in a big troop and are active both day and night.
Previously known as Kallang River Reservoir or Peirce Reservoir, it was renamed Lower Peirce Reservoir after the creation of Upper Peirce Reservoir.
It has a surface area of 6 hectares and the surrounding forest
contains many trees that are over 100 years old.
There are many activities you can do over here such as birdwatching, hiking, nature walk and photography.
The reservoir is the source of the Kallang River, the longest river in Singapore.
There is also a park, Lower Peirce Reservoir Park, which overlooks the reservoir.
