Introduction to Kranji Coastal Nature Park
Tucked away in the northwestern corner of Singapore, Kranji Coastal Nature Park offers a peaceful sanctuary for nature lovers, families, and birdwatchers alike. Formerly known as the Eastern Extension of the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, this green gem has evolved into a vital part of the Sungei Buloh Nature Park Network, forming a link between wetland ecosystems and the Kranji Reservoir.
This coastal park seamlessly blends elevated boardwalks, mid-canopy walkways, educational play areas, and bird-watching spots — making it one of Singapore’s best eco-destinations for a day out.
