Having visited Lower Peirce Reservoir last week, it's time to "explore" Upper Peirce Reservoir next.
As usual, we left home earlier in the morning, and reached the parking lot at Upper Peirce Reservoir before 7.30am. Ample parking lots around.
The main road leading to the park is now converted to one-way traffic - with pedestrian path on the left, and road for cyclist/motorist on the right. One can walk all the way from Lower Peirce Reservoir, all the way to Upper Peirce Reservoir. One may also detour to Thomson Nature Park along the way (before reaching Upper Peirce Reservoir) if interested.
The reservoir and its surrounding area...

For some unknown reason, Singaporeans seem to be more health-conscious the past year. All nature parks are now teeming with health conscious individuals (both young and old), either walking or jogging or cycling along the various trails.
Upper Peirce Reservoir used to be rather quiet, with group of monkeys playing by the road side. We did not see any monkeys this time round.
Upper Peirce Reservoir has mostly paved track for cycling/walking/jogging.

| Spacious road... |
 |
| This is the main road leading all the way to the entrance of the park. No sight of monkeys strolling / resting along the roadside. |
A trail branching off from the paved track...
 |
| It was kind of deserted when we were there. No other visitors were there. |
On a nostalgic note, my wife and I went to explore a drain that led to a barrier with cascading water. CJ was so fascinated with the block formation of the barrier many years back (when he was still in Kindergarten), that he created the same block formation with Lego set at home.
We also caught a giant toad for CY's primary school project near the spot.

| There used to be a signboard "Beware of crocodile" here many years ago. |
