Rifle Range Park

Project Description

For over 30 years, much of Rifle Range Park was abandoned, resulting in a degraded landscape with poor soil conditions and overgrown scrub vegetation.

With the aim of preserving Singapore’s rainforest ecosystem which is under threat from development and human activity, a nine-month baseline study guided the landscape design. The park design has revived the area, restoring its natural forest and wetland habitat, integrating water-sensitive solutions, fauna protection, heritage conservation, and inviting visitors into an engaging natural environment. The design also includes a network of natural hiking trails, as well as a range of amenities for visitors, such as a pavilion, public restrooms, a shelter, and a parking lot, all of which have been integrated visually into the natural landscape.
