Punggol waterway
Punggol Waterway is Singapore’s longest man-made waterway.
The 4.2km stretch contains an eco-drain that filters rainwater, but the Housing Board (HDB) has made it look as natural and attractive as possible.
Officially opened on 23 Oct 2011, Waterway at Punggol has pedestrian and cycling paths on both banks and viewing platforms for visitors to enjoy the scenic views. The five bridges each offer a different perspective of Punggol, bringing visitors closer to the waterscape. Set amidst lush greenery, the space also has exercise and water-play areas for leisure activities.
The waterway combines a series of eco-features to naturally cleanse water naturally before it reaches the waterway. For example, eco-drains, or shallow drains made of gravel are found on both banks – where surface run-off water is filtered through the gravel layers. In addition, there are about 15 types of water plants on the waterway slopes to cleanse surface run-off.
