New 200m canopy link bridge opens in Botanic Gardens

With the opening of the HPL Canopy Link on Thursday, the gardens will be more accessible to all visitors, including families with young children and those with mobility issues, who no longer need to exit the gardens and cross the road to go from one section to another.

The bridge links the Gallop Extension to the Learning Forest, which are both located in the Tyersall-Gallop Core. The 18ha core is the latest addition to the Botanic Gardens and serves as a buffer for the Unesco World Heritage Site against urban development.

The opening of the bridge marks the completion of the core, which brings the total area of the gardens to 82ha, the largest in its 163-year history, according to the National Parks Board (NParks).
