The wetland will get a 38ha park - named the Sungei Buloh
Wetland Park - to help it cope with the rising number of
visitors.
It is hoped that the park will attract more casual visitors,
leaving the main reserve area for researchers, serious nature
lovers and bird watchers. The authorities fear that rising and
unregulated visitor numbers may have a negative impact on the
reserve's rich biodiversity.
The site of the new 38ha park is an extension of the reserve now
known as the Kranji Nature Trail.
Funding for the park will come from the Singapore Tote
Board.
The park, which has no visitor cap, will house facilities such
as observation pods, coastal boardwalks, educational play
facilities and wireless learning trails.
