This is dairy farm Nature Park, a lovely park with lots of flora and fauna to relax you as you take a stroll down the lane.
Park Info: It has lots of facilities such as trails for hiking and mountain biking, and special amenities such as the Wallace Education Centre which houses a learning lab and an interpretative centre, a nature trail where visitors can learn about the flora and fauna of the park through the eyes of English naturalist Alfred Wallace, and a former quarry which has been transformed into a wetland with a viewing platform for visitors to appreciate the freshwater flora and fauna. Sounds like a great place huh? You probably would not get to use the WELL unless your school brought you there. Anyway the place is very relaxing. The park is part of the Bukit Timah nature Reserve. Here is a map of the place that I took of the place. It shows most of what is there.
Note: the park surrounds the Bukit Timah nature reserve and some of the trails can be a bit treacherous, be careful when mountain biking in the area.
The park was opened on 5 Sep 2009 to relieve the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. It is a rather new park and you should try to visit it if you can.
Facilities: The park is linked to Zhenghua park and has many trails, namely the wallace trail, the quarry... The Park has a couple rest stops and two carparks. The WELL and MOE adventure course are good options for schools to bring the students to as they are very engaging.
History: The park's history is clearly stated in the WELL, but I did not get to see much of it, although I know that the park has a history dating back to the 1950s.
