Besides the foot bridge, Rifle Range Nature Park and its Visitor’s Centre can also be reached by Rifle Range Road. Rifle Range Nature Park can be reached on foot via the Rambai Boardwalk that connects to Beauty World. Located 31 metres above, the Colugo Deck is as tall as a 10-storey building and one of Singapore’s tallest viewing points in the nature parks. This large nature park can be found at the southern end of the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve and offers nature lovers a chance to take a walk along hiking trails and pay a visit the former Sin Seng Quarry, now a Quarry Wetland. The quarry is now a idillic spot where visitors can visit to look out for marsh birds. It also serves as a buffer park to reduce the pressure on the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve.

DPM Lawrence Wong at the Opening of Rifle Range Nature Park (Prime Minister's Office Singapore)

Speech by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong at the Opening of Rifle Range Nature Park on 12 November 2022.

This is our home, and it is up to us to shape the Singapore we want for our future. Let us work together to make Singapore, our city in nature, the best home for ourselves, our families and our loved ones, for today and for many more generations to come. In the coming years, we have plans to develop another five more nature parks. This is how we can build greener and better homes for everyone. We need your support to make these plans a reality, because in the end, this tiny little island of Singapore belongs to all of us. With this opening, we now have eight nature parks lining our central nature reserves. As you explore the grounds later today, you will find many trees that were planted by the Friends of Bukit Timah, members of the nature community, as well as residents, grassroots leaders and students from this area. When you take all of these together, the central nature reserves and the eight nature parks surrounding it, we have an area that spans more than 3,500 hectares, which is nearly 5% of the Singapore landmass. We need to develop our commercial and industrial areas, to create more jobs and opportunities for our people. So, I hope everyone will come explore Rifle Range Nature Park, and enjoy all it has to offer. From catching a breath of fresh air, to exercising, or simply quietly observing nature, record numbers of Singaporeans young and old used our parks and park connectors, and green spaces. It has been some time since I had the chance to do an event like this out in nature.
