this is the shelter with minimal seating at the viewing platform at the singapore quarry. what is sorely lacking here are the toilet facilities. for men, there is the open 'firing range' but for women, it will be a problem looking for 'cover' in this area.
there are reeds growing quite close to the platform. it will be nice if some lesser whistling ducks, like those at the botanic gardens, decide to make this place their home.
this is the platform overlooking the water of the singapore quarry. the quarry, which ceased operation in the early 70s, has seen no activity until nparks decided to develop the dairy farm nature park and it was included in the plans. the place was fenced and the gate locked.
access to the singapore quarry is via the road that leads to the ministry of education dairy farm adventure campsite. a short cut to it is via jalan asas, where the rail mall is. you can read about the access here.
so, with the opening of the dairy farm nature park, i will lose another place where i go to to enjoy solitude and to be close to nature. still, i am glad that more people will cme to know and appreciate this quiet spot in singapore.
you can also see the quarry from bukit timah (hill).
