Tampines Eco Green, Urban park in Northeast Singapore.
Tampines Eco Green is an urban park in Northeast Singapore featuring open grasslands, freshwater wetlands, and secondary rainforest in a spacious setting. The park connects different landscape zones through accessible paths and natural trails for visitors to explore.
The National Parks Board created this sanctuary in 2011, transforming an undeveloped area into a natural reserve. This shift reflected Singapore's broader effort to integrate nature into urban landscapes.
The park demonstrates Singapore's commitment to environmental care through its layout, which protects natural habitats for birds and other wildlife. Visitors can experience firsthand how green spaces fit into the rhythm of daily life in a dense urban setting.
The park is open daily with paved perimeter paths suitable for wheelchairs and natural dirt trails through the interior. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear for different terrain types and plan according to their mobility needs.
The park operates an ecological toilet system that converts waste into compost using natural processes without water or chemicals. This approach shows how waste management can work in harmony with a natural setting.
