One of the purposes of managed nature like parks, zoo and reservoirs is for recreational purpose. Recreational activity is definitely not on top of the list for conservation activity. However, I think it can certainly bring us closer to nature.
We can categorize recreational activities into two types: passive and active. Active recreational activities are better than passive recreational activities because interactive experience enhance our experience in nature.
Nature recreational reactivities seem to be a useful way to utilize Nature. It allows us to escape from the hectic way of living in city and gives us opportunity to take a step back and explore our inner-self. That is important for Singaporeans (and whoever lives and work in Singapore) who are working in this fast- paced city. Singapore may not have much wild nature left but our managed nature can certainly fulfill these needs. These are some suggestions provided by nparks on what to do while exploring the beauty of nature. And yes. There is pony riding.
So instead of heading down to the mall for shopping or movie during your free time, why not rent a kayak from the reservoir?
