The park is home to some trees that are over 100 years old, along with fascinating plants like pitcher plants (Nepenthe spp.) and the Nibong palm (Oncosperma tigillarium). Wildlife in the area includes long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis), Oriental whip snakes (Ahaetulla prasina), and occasionally, white-bellied sea eagles (Haliaeetus leucogaster) soaring above the reservoir. Endangered Raffles’ banded langur monkeys can sometimes be spotted, and the reservoir also houses freshwater species like snakeheads (Channa spp.).

Peirce Reservoir Park, situated along Old Upper Thomson Road in Singapore, offers a scenic view of Lower Peirce Reservoir, the country’s second oldest reservoir. The park is bordered by a mature secondary rainforest, featuring numerous rubber trees and oil palms.
