    This was my inaugural nighttime bike ride experience. Riding alone, during the final stretch, I encountered two untamed boars leisurely reveling in the cloudy night sky. The temperature was significantly lower compared to Singapore's typical weather, given the lush green ,verdant surroundings with trees covered in dew. Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon two groups along with a handful of individuals who were there to capture photographs of snakes and other insects native to Singapore. All in all, it proved to be an exceptionally delightful location to explore.

    Quiet and calm place for a morning walk/jog. It wasn’t crowded at all. You can event spend some time to just sit here and appreciate the view and serenity. Very accessible by bus 138, but if you prefer to walk in you could too. However if you walk by the Golf Course path, there isn’t a pedestrian road so do watch out for cars. Will definitely come here again.

    A well kept reservoir park with some iconic photo spots. The place is peaceful and quiet. Nice place to chill and relax.

  • 5/5 Kathy L. B. 2 years ago on Google
    Breathtaking afternoon experience at Upper Seletar Reservoir! Calm waters, extremely perfect for picinics with family and friends. The adjacent golf course was surrounded by trees similar-looking to broccoli. Isn't it amazing? The trees boasted of different hues of green, which was very calming to the eyes. We waited for sunset. Skies turned orange and slowly, darkness kissed the remaining visitors of the Reservoir. We capped the night with dinner on the moist green grass.

    Location can be quite out of the way unless driving. difficult to get to. It can be quite pretty like out of a photo album if you get good weather as per my photos here. So probably good for those quick one-off photo shoot if that’s what you need. However downside of this landscape is that it is so open, barely shaded. within sg’s super hot, tropical humid, sunny weather, the heat can get quite overbearing especially if no breeze and you might not be willing to hang around too long. Probably don’t go at noon 😅 Surrounding area seems to alternate between very constructed manmade areas and forest. Probably this area is meant for cyclist 🚴‍♀️ quick pass by?

    Not much attraction here apart from the rocket tower and walk around. Also it is out of the way so need private transport to come here

    Amazingly serene park. You are immediately calm down with the atmosphere around it. A simple get away from hectic urban life. A very good place to be with your friends and family for a short jog and walk in the afternoon. No sunset observe when we are visiting

    Came here for evening walk. Climb up the tower to have panoramic view n the famous lone tree is so magnificent and elegant. Can just sit down n enjoy the evening peacefully. You can spend a lot of time just to take photos of this tree. It is quite famous for wedding shoots. Surprisingly it has well maintained public toilet and ample car parking space.

    nice place to use your decathlon foldable chair to chill and enjoy the view at any time of the day. not a lot of people come here which is good. there is parking just a walking distance but can be very dark at night. theres a tower after the exit from the carpark. nice view from the top. there is another smaller parking lot at the other end near the bus stop.

  • 4/5 k c. 4 months ago on Google • 75 reviews
    Have been here multiple times but not always encountered such a beautiful sunset. Nice place to take a stroll or climb the tower for a bird’s eye view. You can take the MRT to Springleaf then walk over or take a short bus ride.

  • 4/5 Matthew L. 2 years ago on Google
    Very scenic place to enjoy the views and peace. A good place for sunsets as well. Don't forget to pose photos at the iconic tower as well as the Instagrammable tree!

    Great place for sunset, lots of people having picnic there. If you wanna take the photo of the tree, might be a little difficult because of the sheer number of people there.

  • 5/5 hw 2 years ago on Google
    really loved this place of serenity. no noise as it was far from the main roads, and it takes about 20 mins walk in from the main road near mandai pet sanctuary. really gorgeous weather while i was there. simply nice to just sit there and have some coffee and bites - however have to be mindful of monkeys who would come to snatch your food hahaha overall great place to seek some zen ✨

    Pleasant, scenic, reachable by bus 138....Calm reservoir ambience...we had MacD (takeaway) breakfast...with the beautiful view...

  • 5/5 DJ P. 5 years ago on Google
    It's great even at night. The park is kept clean and lights are minimal. You can see the stars on a clear night. The most glow comes from the Singapore Zoo area but none of it bothers visitors or wildlife in the area.

  • 5/5 Hongrui L. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to view the sunset. Especially if you have personal transport.

    Great expense of space and water to unwind yourself free from the hustle and bustle of city living.

  • 4/5 Bambang L. 3 years ago on Google
    Tranquil place to relax - not much to do aside of climbing the rocket tower for a view and a stroll along the dyke, and watching monkeys which are aplenty in the vegetation surrounding it. Not very popular place which is good as not many people visiting this place.

  • 5/5 현한수 3 years ago on Google
    It is very peaceful location and good place for family outing. Also it nice place for walking, running, sitting for enjoying sunset. Right down to dam, there is golf course for bigginer. This park has enough parking space and good accessbility. I like to arrive here around 7:00 PM for sunset and take photo.

    Serenity, with the tower shaped like a rocket! Nice view from the top. But little shades, and surrounding greenery is off limit for some reason. Otherwise it'll be great trekking all the way to ZhengHua park to it's west

    A very quiet and peaceful place for family activities, run or walk. The beautiful Seletar Lake provides a soothing panoramic view with a lush of greenery at the far end. The tower is aan iconic structure that has been there since I can remember when I was just a little boy. Feel free to visit this beautiful site.

  • 5/5 Piqued W. 2 years ago on Google
    One of the free parks that spans for a longgggg stretch. Great place to jog, cycle or even just walk. This is definitely something almost anyone can do with everyone. Even those on wheelchair, yay! The parking space is also equally big and spacious. Not forgetting that the parking place has a toilet beside it should u suddenly need to settle nature's call just before you start your journey. There is also a rocket tower that looked like that it will transport u to a timeline in the past. And yes, climbing to the top is possible. The view is just slightly above the canopy of the trees BUT never a disappointment. Definitely a place to go for inspiration and life motivation. The stretch of the road is also pretty to be at, during the right timing. As u can see the photos contributed, not just by us, by others as well. A lovely place for nature at its best. We came when it was about to rain and it rained while we were there and we continued after it rained too..hehehe.. So ya, it was a great experience here..😀 Take note one thing, there is limited sheltered area should it rain. Just make sure u are well-prepared before coming here. And oya, there is no direct public transport like Bedok Reservoir park.. So u guys need to drive here.. Cheers #upperseletar #upperselerarreservoirpark #park #piquedwanderer #famwithsten

  • 4/5 Jordan T. 2 years ago on Google
    If u like 🐒, you can see them here, LOL... Else, what can be mentioned that had never been done so? Come on, it's a place with long history! Not accessible via public transportation though.

  • 5/5 Jonavan L. 2 years ago on Google
    Famous wedding shoot location thanks to the lone tree planted against a picturesque backdrop of a blue sky and calm waters. There's also a viewing tower you can climb up to enjoy a bird's eye view of the scenery here. Great place to jog as there's a long jogging track and also great place to have a picnic - I see many families picnicking here. Toilet's a short 5min walk away and there's a good amount of carpark lots here so overall a convenient & beautiful place to chill & catch the sunrise/sunset.

  • 5/5 Desmond W. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place to cycle or take a hike to. It is worth the effort to go all the way in. It was a tough ride due to the steep slopes but definately worth to see such a beautiful view of the Reservoir.

  • 4/5 Azhar K. 2 years ago on Google
    Tranquil spot for chillin’. Not much shade around, so best to visit in the late afternoon or before noon. Best thing about this place is you feel like you’re in a different country when you’re there. It just looks… different.

    Great place for exercises, chillout and listen to WILDLIFE (if only the human could keep their voices down). Cyclists, you do not need to share your loud music on speakers. Otherwise, fabulous horticulture. Toilet facilities. A golf club near by. Parking available.

  • 5/5 Ronald W. 2 years ago on Google
    Although it’s a small park, it’s less crowded. You can picnic under the heritage kapok tree or take a walk down the quaint reservoir.

    Beautiful park and views. Great place to chill, be sure to climb the tower for the panoramic view. Not advised to picnic here, monkeys will come after you!! Free and ample parking when I went.

  • 4/5 SH P. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely small park. A bit hard to get in by mandai road, I cycled in via the road but couldn't see a pedestrain path.Could be why the park was not crowded even on a weekend evening. Amazing sunset when the weather is clear.

  • 5/5 Tuan V.B (Tuấn Ba G. 1 year ago on Google
    What an amazing place to visit in Singapore. It is free for visitor. You will have chance to see long-tailed macaques along the main walking trails and Bengal monitor (see in my photos).

  • 4/5 Samuel S. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a rather small park where the two ends include a pedestrian exit to a bus stop and a public toilet. I would say the highlight of this park is the rocket shaped lookout point which gives you amazing views of the reservoir. Do come here if you are looking for a serenity and calm. You could easily get here via bus from Springleaf MRT station. You could also take a walk along Mandai Road Track 7 that passes the golf course. However, do be warned that there is no pedestrian path here

  • 5/5 Ron P. 1 year ago on Google
    We had a family picnic at Upper Selatar Park. The weather is perfect in the morning but had a heavy downpour by around 2pm. We had to make do and shelter on the only available place there which is the tower. It's good we have our family pictures taken earlier. It would be better to have some covered shelter for instances when it rains like these.

  • 4/5 N. S. 10 months ago on Google
    It's a beautiful place for a leisurely walk with family, including kids. The view is beautiful and serene, away from the city. The only catch is the lack of ammenities such as public toilets or watercoolers. Those coming for picnics near the former lighthouse structure, should make sure they have trash bags as there are no rubbish bins nearby. Reminder to all visitors, the only thing you can leave behind in parks and nature sites are your footprints and absolutely nothing else!

  • 4/5 Grace L. 1 year ago on Google
    Faces west, nice for sunset. 85 steps up the tower, and you get a panoramic view of the place. Not much else to do here though.

  • 5/5 Dennis L. 10 months ago on Google
    Lots of greenery, nice scenery. So relaxing to just sit at the bench enjoying the reservoir view and the breeze.
