Lower Peirce Reservoir

Tried several times to visit Lower Peirce Reservoir over the past few weeks. However, the parking lots (which are rather limited, probably can accomodate not more than 20 cars) are perpetually full when we reached there.

Woke up early today.. The sky was still dark when we left our house.

Reached the parking lots around 7.10am today - alas, it was full again. Too bad, parked our car at the Windsor Nature Park instead. Walked just slightly over 1km from Windsor Nature Park to Lower Peirce Reservoir.


The last time my wife and I visited Lower Peirce Reservoir was over 10 years ago, when our children were still in Primary School. 

Nothing much has changed, apart from extension of new boardwalk from the pavillion to nature trails.

A picture of peace and tranquility - people engaged in meditation, fishing, reading.





Glimpse of the boardwalk, and the nearby scenery.


Another segment of the cycling / walking path encircling the reservoir.




The green field further down the slope from the cycling path. It has been partially savaged by wild boars.



Trees nearby... the branches look interesting.


There is an "unoffical" path leading from the reservoir to the main road - had to walk pass the grassland, and narrow pavement along a drain (which probably serves to drain off water from reservoir, I think).

Lower Peirce Reservoir further up. There is a narrow pavement next to the railing on the right.

Walking back to Windsor Nature Park...


We went for a short walk at Venus Loop in Windsor Nature Park, before calling it a day.
