History of Windsor Nature Park
Windsor Nature Park was opened on 22 April 2017 by the National Parks Board as a buffer park to protect the Central Catchment Nature Reserve. Developed on land with former villages and secondary forest, it was designed to reduce visitor pressure on the nature reserve while providing public access to nature and environmental education.
