Three new parks to be completed

Three new parks will be completed this year.

They're Holland Village Park, Woodlands Town Park East and Choa Chu Kang Park extension.

Making the announcement in Parliament, Senior Minister of State for National Development Tan Chuan-Jin said some of the older parks such as Sembawang Park and Changi Beach Park
have been given a fresh look.

Mr Tan said the government's committed to retaining a tenth of land area for nature reserves and parks.

Speaking on Singapore's green efforts, he says more nature ways will be created similar to the one across the Bukit Timah Expressway which reconnects the central catchment area and the Bukit Timah Nature Reserves.
