Part A : Introduction to Jurong Lake Park
Monday, 22 August 2011 @ 03:44



Introduction :


Jurong Lake is a 70ha freshwater lake and reservoir that is located in the western region of Singapore which is formed with the damming of Sungei Jurong which is further downstream. This lake serves as a reservoir which is capable of contributing to the water supply of the country. There are several tourist attractions located and and within the park. Example: Chinese Garden and Japanese Garden which are located on their respective islands within the lake, as well as the Tang Dynasty Village nearby. 


The Urban Redevelopment Authority announced on 4 April 2008 that the area around Jurong Lake Park will be transformed into a unique lakeside destination for business and leisure in the next 10 and 15 years. A new district will be created which will be named Jurong Lake District which consists of Jurong Gateway and Lakeside. These are the areas around the Jurong East MRT Station and Jurong Lake in the west region of Singapore. 


Here are some of the new developments :
- A public park will be developed next to Lakeside Mrt Station.
- A new Science Centre will be buillt next to Chinese Garden MRT station.
- Lakeside village. 
- Enhanced Chinese and Japanese Garden.


However, after all these changes which will be made in the near future, what would become of all the animals living in Jurong Lake Park? By making all these changes, we are destroying the animal's natural habitat. Even if these animals are brought to the zoo into a place which is similar to their natural habitat, it would still be different as they will be enclosed in a place where they cannot move around freely. Thus, these changes might not be a good idea after all.

Reflection. 


After the visit to Jurong Lake Park, i found out that it has few animals and is strewed with rubbish. Though there are signs which encourages park users to throw their rubbish in the rubbish bin, people still choose to throw their rubbish on the ground or in the water. This harms the environment which will indirectly harm the animals. I think that as park users, we should all do our part and make Jurong Lake Park and clean park which people enjoy going to. If Jurong Lake Park was dirty and filled with rubbish, nobody would want to visit it. Thus, we should keep the park clean.
