Punggol Waterway

I had a chance to visit the Punggol Waterway, otherwise also known as My Waterway@Punggol, which is situated about 5-10mins walk, north west of the Punggol MRT/Bus Terminal. You can refer to the approximate location here from OneMap.

It's a 4.2km long, 20-30 metre wide man-made waterway that goes through the new Punggol estate. One end will lead you to the Sengkang riverside park while the other will lead you to the Lorong Halus Wetland near Pasir Ris. From Lorong Halus, it will lead you to the Serangoon Park Connector, which links to Punggol Park. There are a few playgrounds scattered throughout the waterway and I saw quite a few people cycling and jogging along the waterway.

Below are some pictures I've taken from Punggol Waterway to Long Halus Wetland. Something different than the urban landscape that we face everyday. Visit it when you have time.

Should be the direction towards Sengkang Riverside Park

Singapore's very own mirror waterway. A rare scene in Singapore.
