National Parks Board (NParks) is responsible for providing and enhancing the greenery of our biophilic City in a Garden. Beyond building green infrastructure, NParks is actively engaging the community to enhance the quality of our living environment.

NParks manages more than 350 parks and over 300 km of park connectors, 3,347 hectares of nature reserves and the Singapore Botanic Gardens. We also manage Pulau Ubin and the Sisters’ Islands Marine Park. Adding to this is the extensive streetscape, or roadside greenery, that forms the backbone of our biophilic City in a Garden. The island-wide Park Connector Network is also being developed to link major parks, nature areas and residential estates.




As the lead agency on biodiversity conservation, NParks has developed an urban biodiversity conservation model, which aims to conserve representative eco-systems in land-scarce Singapore. NParks also monitors and coordinates measures to enhance the presence of biodiversity in our urban landscape.
