There’s toilet at the entrance. The water fountain temperature is actually cold so that’s a refreshing surprise after a hike. Kid friendly, very steep at the start but it’s a short hike depending on the route so its doable.

It is great place to enjoy nature, have some physical activity and learn a lot about this nature reserve. Walked route nr1 and nr3. Enjoyed nr3 a bit better, as it was less crowded and not paved.
Went hiking at Bukit Timah and Rifle Range and it turned out to be a really refreshing experience. The trail was surrounded by tall trees and thick greenery, making the whole walk feel calm and peaceful. As I went down the wooden steps, I could hear the sounds of nature all around me—birds, insects, and the rustling of leaves. Along the way, I noticed small details that made the hike even more special, like tiny plants growing out of old wood and patches of moss spreading across fallen logs. It reminded me how alive the forest is, even in the smallest places. The hike wasn’t too easy, especially with the long paths and steps, but it felt satisfying. I managed to cover about 7.8 kilometers, and even though I was tired, it was a good kind of tired. Overall, it was a simple but meaningful experience—just being surrounded by nature, slowing down, and enjoying the moment.
Very nice place to either have a slow walk, trail walk, or trail run. There are challenging slopes & steps, but there are also friendly sections to catch your breath. Distance wise, one can choose to walk from a short 3 KM route or a longer 6KM+ route. With the terrain, it is a good place to burn some calories and at the same time, enjoy the greenery with some sightings of animals in the wild. So far, I have encountered calugo, blue diamond coral snake, pangolin, wild boar, monitor lizards, drongo (bird) and of course, monkeys (plenty of them).
