Coney Island, off Punggol in the north-west, will be home to Singapore’s ninth nature park, said the National Parks Board (NParks).
The island, a popular spot for anglers and rich in natural biodiversity, will become a sprawling 50ha ‘green lung’.
Thanks to its rich flora and fauna, Coney Island will be a stand-alone nature park. The other nature parks are typically buffers for nature reserves.
