National Parks Board [information]

National Parks Board (NParks) is responsible for providing and enhancing the greenery of the Garden City.  NParks is also committed to enhancing the quality of life through creating memorable recreational experiences and lifestyles.

NParks manages 10% of Singapore's total land area, comprising over 50 major parks and 4 nature reserves. Adding to this is the extensive street scape, or roadside greenery, that forms the backbone of our City in a Garden. An island-wide Park Connector Network is also being developed to link major parks and residential areas.

NParks monitors and coordinates measures to ensure the health of Singapore's biodiversity. This supports the overall thrust of our urban biodiversity conservation model, which aims to conserve representative eco-systems in land-scarce Singapore for future generations.

NParks is also the lead agency in the efforts to continually upgrade the Landscape Industry in Singapore. It works closely with industry partners to promote good work practices and create a thriving, innovative and professional industry that will support Singapore’s aspirations of being a City in the Garden.
