JURONG LAKE PARK
Jurong Lake is located in the western region of Singapore and is next to the Lakeside MRT Station. It is a 70ha freshwater lake which serves as a reservoir contributing to the water supply of the country. It is surrounded by parkland, which serves as a recreational ground for leisure activities such as cycling, jogging and water activities such as dragon boat and fishing (at destinated place) etc. It is an added entertainment for nearby residents in Jurong East and Jurong West New Towns. It also serves as an extra outdoor learning place for nearby schools such as Jurong Secondary School, Yuan Ching Secondary School and Lakeside Primary School etc.
(A) Our Reflection
We went to the Jurong Lake Park on 6th July 2012. A refreshing rain had just bathed the earth. The weather was now clear and the first rays of sunshine were starting to peep through the clouds again. The park is beautiful. It is surrounded by tall trees, all kinds of shrubs and flowers with some wooden seats along the way. Besides the large open space for humans to interact with one another, the trees and plants in the park are also important habitat to a lot of animans. We were surprised to see different types of plants such as pong pong tree, coconut trees, bird’s nest fern, rabbit’s foot fern, Chinese fan palm and ixora etc. As we walked along, we saw animals such as frog, kingfisher, squirrel, mynah ,snail eggs and some fishes in the pond. Therefore parks help to contribute to the diversity of plants and animals in Singapore.
