Lower Seletar is a subzone of Yishun, Singapore. It is bounded by Yishun Avenue 1/4 and Yishun Street 41/51 to the north, Seletar Expressway and Seletar West Link to the south, Yishun Avenue 1 to the east and Lentor Avenue to the west.[2]
Lower Seletar is named from the planning area Seletar, which is located on the east of Lower Seletar. Seletar itself was named after the indigenous group that resided around the area before the 19th Century, the Orang Seletar[3] The area is mostly taken up by Lower Seletar Reservoir, a reservoir constructed under the Sungei Seletar/Bedok Water Scheme[4]
A major park, Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is located at the southern edge of the housing estate bordering the northern edge of the reservoir. Facilities include a water sports rental facility.[6] There are also two small parks, Rockridge Park and Rower's Bay Park. Yishun Dam is also located in Lower Seletar, at the north-eastern side of Lower Seletar Reservoir.
