Beautiful hike!
It was so refreshing to be out in nature after visiting bustling streets of Singapore!
Highly recommended for a short time-out :-)

So glad I came here on my trip to Singapore! Hiked around the MacRitchie Reservoir following the yellow trail, but detoured to make sure I could do the TreeTop Walk. I was the only one there, apart from the security guard and a load of monkeys! Peaceful, great views - highly recommend as long as you’re not scared of heights! The walk following the bridge back to the main trails was long and steep (downhill) but equally as peaceful.
Yes you’ll see monkeys (don’t give them food), and lizards.
It’s nice that the access is for free, on a weekday around 11am, it was very empty.
Don’t expect a tiny path in the middle of the forest, the trail is made to be the one green escape of the 6 million Singaporeans, so it’s very maintained and quite large paths.
The access is through the public toilet point on google maps, and you can then link it up with the reservoir trail.

Nice place to walk. From the Venus carpark to the treetop bridge is about 3km. Start off easy on the boardwalk but later part gets a bit more challenging with higher climb steps then from the bridge til about 2km, back on the boardwalk again. Then rocky trail and back to the Junction to venus again. About 7km from the carpark to the treetop and back.
Only wish that folks will walk single file especially when it's crowded. And not talk so loud.

Monkeys, turtles, fish, snake, monitors are some of the wildlife you will see during the hike. You can spend a while day hiking, it's very safe and very well kept. There are some spots with great view.
From the bus stop on Upper Thomson Road, Google Maps directed me to walk up Island Club Road. This is incorrect, and only leads you to the entrance of a private country club. The walking trail actually starts from the public toilets on Venus Drive. (There is also a water fountain here). There are a few ranger stations along the route which also have toilets and water fountains.
Allow at least 2 to 3 hours if you want to do the whole circular route, including the treetop walk and viewing tower. Note the bridge closes in the late afternoon.

Visiting the Treetop Walk on a weekend is an experience that seamlessly blends the thrill of adventure with the serenity of nature. Nestled amidst lush forests, the elevated walkway invites visitors to a unique vantage point, offering panoramic views that stretch over the canopy, providing a bird's-eye perspective of the vibrant ecosystem below. The engineering marvel of the walkway itself, with its sturdy construction and thoughtful design, ensures safety while enhancing the immersive experience of being amongst the treetops.
The tranquility of the environment, punctuated by the sounds of wildlife, creates a soothing backdrop for a leisurely stroll or an introspective journey. The walk is accessible to people of all ages, making it a perfect family outing where even the youngest adventurers can marvel at the wonders of nature from an elevated position. The informative plaques placed along the path add an educational element, enriching the experience with insights into the local flora and fauna.
However, the popularity of the Treetop Walk means weekends can be bustling, with larger crowds and possible wait times. Early arrival is advisable to fully enjoy the serenity before the busiest periods. Despite this, the sense of community among fellow nature enthusiasts adds to the charm of the experience, making the Treetop Walk a must-visit destination for those seeking an escape into nature's embrace.

Well built trail for the Treetop Walk at Macritchie Reservoir Park. The bridge built in the secondary forest offers a terrific and elevated view of the surrounding area. It felt as if you are walking on top of trees while on the bridge. The hike took 2 - 2.5 hours and was not difficult. Be mindful and avoid the monkeys as they may be aggressive if they feel threatened
As someone who attended Dover Court International School in the past, I have had countless PE lessons which took place here, mainly cross country and running, and my god is it a fun trail to run.
This is what remains of the old Warren Golf & Country Club - my favourite place 😊
An interesting piece of land formerly used as a golf course. It is now a good place for hiking and running.
Quite a big grass land which used to be part of the old Warren country club golf course. Quiet and nice place to walk, run and cycle. Surrounded by the Anglo Chinese School, United World College of Southeast Asia - Dover Campus, Yale NUS college and University Town, as well as a private landed property area around. There is a big pond in the middle of the trail though it looks not really well maintained.
Nice trail though the grounds of the former Warren Club golf course.
Good
Nice quiet trail for walking & cycling. Pls keep it this way for us to enjoy
lovely meadows converted from a former golf course
