These reservoirs are surrounded by broad
swamps, jungle and greenery, which run through the central
northern parts of Singapore. The reservoirs are popular for
family outings and picnics. They are a quiet contrast to the
bustle of the city and provide a variety of recreational facilities
like paddle boating and golf at Upper Seletar or sport fishing
at Lower Seletar. MacRitchie Reservoir has a 12-hectare park
with a jogging track, exercise area, playground, tea kiosk
and fountain. On most Sundays, local school bands or orchestras
play at MacRitchie (check local dailies for time of performances).
