PUNGGOL WATERWAY

This is the night view of the recently opened Punggol Waterway by URA that is connected to the Serangoon Park Connector under NParks. A part of it is linked to the bridge leading to the Lorong Halus Wetland.

The design seems to draw inspiration from the Pennisetum, which is planted extensively throughout the linear connector, which came through in the form of the LED cool coloured changing lights along the waterfront and the pedestrian bridge. The public toilet along the way has an interesting design too.

I only managed to walk along the stretch that joins to the Punggol Promenade and stopped for a meal at Popeye but did not explore the rest of the area because it was too quiet and only a few people were around. The site must look very different in the day and I don't know when I will drop by this area again.

LORONG HALUS WETLAND & PUNGGOL PROMENADE

I found some time to visit the Lorong Halus Wetland and a section of the Punggol Promenade before its recent official opening.


The former is a project by PUB and the latter by URA. Both are projects that demonstrated the coordinated efforts to green up our waterways and together with NParks yet to be opened Punggol Waterway provide a splendid route along the waterfront that connects to the Serangoon Park Connector and Punggol Park.


I must say the maroon bridge is rather unique and is an interesting landmark across the river.


In addition, I would never miss out on some of the weeds e.g. Mimosa, Clitoria, Crotalaria, that I see at these places which give it a more unique character.
