Bishan Ang Mo Kio Park is divided into 2 parks by Marymount Road. The west park is located just below the Lower Pierce Reservoir where water will run from there into Kallang river flowing across the park from the west to the park in the east. I normally prefer to visit the park in the west due to its diversity in wildlife. As it is also located near temples, there are also landscape that is good for photography.

I find this river unique in Singapore.

 |
| There is this new MRT station that is only located behind this park. So I decided to try out travelling via MRT here. |
 |
Just need to exit via Exit 1, turn left and I am already at the car park behind the park.
|
 |
| Walking across the carpark will lead me to this bridge. I am already in the park. |

Cleansing Biotope
According to Npark, this wetland is created for the treatment of pond water. I love this wetland as I can find the munias and waxbill here. However, I have no luck today. Grub, the eatery that has been here for quite a while has move out. Waiting for the next restaurant to start running here. |

Eurasian tree sparrow (Juvi)
Found this cutie at the wetlands. I couldn't help but to take a picture of it.

I started to explore towards the west end, left side of bridge from entrance via MRT.
Greeted with a tree with Herons nest on top. Be careful - you may be the lucky one to get the dropping on your head. |

The Lotus pond.
Can be found at the far end nearer to Lower Pierce Reservoir.
A place to seek shelter when it rains. (There isn't alot of shelter here) |

No water dispenser in this park. Only this one and only vending machine at the one and only toilet here. So we need to bring along our own water bottle if we need to drink plain water. The day I visited, the machine also do not sell mineral water.
