Alexandra Nature Park is set to become one of Singapore’s most exciting new additions to its ever-growing green network. Tucked within the Southern Ridges and part of the ambitious Greater Southern Waterfront redevelopment, this upcoming nature park will serve as a serene sanctuary for biodiversity and a recreational escape for residents and visitors alike.
Location and Accessibility
Located near Alexandra Road and nestled between Kent Ridge Park, Labrador Nature Reserve, and HortPark, the Alexandra Nature Park will play a key role in expanding the Southern Ridges green corridor. Once opened, visitors can expect seamless access via walking and cycling trails that link to key MRT stations like Labrador Park (Circle Line) and Queenstown MRT (East-West Line).
Opening Hours and Entry Fee
- Opening Hours: To be announced
- Entry Fee: Free (like most NParks-managed nature parks)
While the official launch date is still pending, the park will follow the typical NParks model of being open daily and free to enter, making it accessible to everyone from families and school groups to solo hikers and nature enthusiasts.
Planned Facilities
As part of Singapore’s push to restore native forest ecosystems and promote urban biodiversity, Alexandra Nature Park is expected to feature:
- Nature trails that wind through secondary forest
- Birdwatching platforms and forest observation decks
- Interpretive signage for education and awareness
- Rest areas and seating nodes
- Reforestation zones for native species and wildlife corridors
These features will complement the eco-conscious vision of NParks and support wildlife like sunbirds, squirrels, butterflies, and even colugos.
