Rasau Walk sits above a
restored freshwater swamp habitat situated along the edge of Jurong Lake. It is
a 300 m-long meandering boardwalk, enabling you to get closer to the lake as it
curves out onto the water multiple times. There are more than 50 species of plants
to be found here.
This area is named after Rasau, which are plants often found in a freshwater swamp habitat. The walk meanders through clusters of Nibong Palm (Oncosperma tigillarium), Sealing Wax Palm (Cyrtostachys renda), and Rasau plants. The colour of the boardwalk is made to be a striking reddish-brown on purpose, to reflect the colour of the laterite boulders excavated from the Jurong Lake Gardens development site.
