Lower Seletar Reservoir: An Easy Waterside Visit

The park sits at Yishun Avenue 1 and Lentor Avenue. Use Lower Seletar Reservoir Park as your map destination, rather than a general reservoir pin. Khatib is the nearby MRT station; the waterfront is not directly outside the station.

Driving? NParks lists free parking off Yishun Avenue 1, with 23 car spaces and one accessible space. It is a small car park, not a reason to promise the group parking will be easy.

Head for the kelong-inspired heritage bridge for the water view, shaded pavilion and panels about the area’s history. Follow the waterside path as far as you feel like, then return. You do not need to circle the reservoir to make this a worthwhile outing.

Our suggested plan: a relaxed walk, time on the bridge, then a drink or meal back towards Khatib. Keep the meal separate from the route so nobody has to rush their photos for a reservation.

The park also has a bioswale, a planted feature that helps filter rainwater runoff. It is an easy extra to notice along the way, rather than a second destination.

Fishing is only allowed in designated areas. Water sports require their own arrangements; arriving for a walk does not include equipment or a session. NParks lists 24-hour park opening. For a first visit, daylight makes it easier to find the paths and bridge.
