Rifle Range Nature Park and The Reserve Residences : Formerly a network of kampung trails skirting an abandoned quarry, Rifle Range Nature Park was launched by the National Parks Board (NParks) on 12th Nov 2002 to make the forest and trails more accessible to the public.
The eighth addition to Central Nature Park Network
With its numerous foot trails with a total distance of 7km, many bridges over natural streams and a 30m viewing point perched atop the cliff of a granite quarry, the 66ha park is the eighth addition to the Central Nature Park Network.
If you never heard of Central Nature Park network, it is actually a very impressive ring of nature parks surrounding the Central Catchment and Bukit Timah nature reserves. The MacRitchie Hiking Trails are a good example of these parks.
This new Rifle Range nature park – about the size of 92 football fields – has the greatest length of trails of all the nature parks in the Central Nature Park Network, with more than 7km of trails and boardwalks.
Rifle Range Nature Park and The Reserve Residences : The Reserve Residences will be so close to Rifle Range Nature Park
There will be an upcoming new condo launch at this Bukit Timah area so close to this Rifle Range Nature Park.
The new launch is The Reserve Residences, at Jalan Anak Bukit.
In fact, the new Rifle Range Nature Park will be easily accessible via an overhead bridge from Beauty World Centre in Upper Bukit Timah Road.
Just an escalator away from Beauty World MRT, this overhead bridge transports the public from the urban environment of Upper Bukit Timah Road (close to the Reserve Residences new condo) directly into the heart of the Rifle Range forest.
It leads to Rambai boardwalk, which is named after a critically endangered native tree.
You can see from this map how close the Reserve Residences will be to this Rifle Range Nature Park. Which fits into the theme of this new launch. That is one of being close to nature as well as transport hub.
As if crossing through a portal into a secret world, this is the only bridge in a nature park here to be built at this level of elevation into the canopy. This ensure that lush parts of the forest were just a short walk away from the public and to make it convenient for families to visit the park after a meal at the mall.
Or for the future residents of The Reserve Residences to just walk over to the park for a lovely evening walk with the family or an early morning jog. A very good reason to buy a new launch unit at the Reserve Residences.
Indeed, we are seeing more and more new govt land sales at this area of Upper Bukit Timah, close to Beauty World MRT.
This is a growing and exciting development area in Singapore and is part of the Government plan for Bukit Timah as seen in the URA master plan too.
