Upper Peirce Reservoir Park

Upper Peirce Reservoir Park is a serene and tranquil park nestled just next to the Upper Peirce Reservoir. The reservoir, together with the MacRitchie Reservoir, the Lower Peirce Reservoir and the Upper Seletar Reservoir, bound the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. The nature reserve acts as a water catchment for the reservoirs in the area.

Due to increasing demand for water in the 1960s and to increase the capacity of Peirce Reservoir, a higher dam was constructed upstream of the existing dam at Peirce Reservoir in 1970. In 1975, Upper Peirce Reservoir was completed and officially opened by the then Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew on 27 February 1977.
