Though quite far away from the city center, a nice decent place to go and get a good workout done. Great for the people who live nearby.
I especially go here to log in morning runs.
Presently construction is going around the area, so some parts are partially closed.

I can see that a lot of efforts and thought has been put in to do up this beautiful landscape! Worth visit as there are many different types of trees, which you could not find at other parks in Singapore. Birds, dragonflies & butterflies can be spotted too.

We love this beautiful park. Bikes can be rented from "Waterway and Wheels" at the new Safra Punggol which also has eateries like Pizza Hut and Mcds. A great place for cycling, nature walks or family picnic. There's even a water play area for kids at one end of the park. Just a precaution, we came across a pack of stray dogs roaming around one afternoon. Hopefully, some action is taken by the relevant authority...

Yes, this is THE place to go, if you have a bicycle. It is easily accessible from the Serangoon Park Connector (from Punggol Park in Hougang), and the Punggol Park Connector (from Sengkang). Punggol Waterway Park is HUGE, and it also leads to Coney Island. Enjoy the scenic water-themed bike trails. Lots of space to cycle. But it is getting very popular and super crowded on weekends. Nonetheless, worth coming.
You can link up to SAFRA punggol and Waterway Mall.

This park is tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood but is surprisingly beautiful and refreshing with the waterway running through it. There are nice benches on the boardwalk for quiet reflections and nice bridges linking both sides of the waterway. SAFRA located in the park also provides many promising activities for a day of fun.

Almost a 5 km stretch... Very innovatively planned and executed.... Taking shape as SG growing.
A water stream running all along with landscaped paths and other facilities on either side is very interesting.
There are many Entry / exit points therefore caters and convenient to many....
Also connects to many residential and commercial spaces on either side.
I often visit this place... ESP during mornings...
Although this space is good anytime...
This multi use space is good for leisure walk, cycling, jogging, yoga, meditation, exercise... Or just a quiet moments for yourself... Safra and some retail areas also connected along...
A very innovative effort by HDB, hope it's maintained with time...

Its a very relaxing experience running along the waterway in the evenings. Connected to the Waterwaypoint and SAFRA Punggol, those are good areas for rest and people watching. The remaining track is a very surreal and quite path. Run towards the view deck (Jewel Bridge) shaped like a dome for an unobstructed view of the reservoir. Absolutely relaxing and breathtaking during sunsets.

I was invited to a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for Chingay participants at One Punggol. I came early in the morning at about 8 am hoping to explore this eco-town. It took me more than half an hour to reach here via the North-East MRT line from Outram Park. I ever came to Coney Island for a brisk walk few years back and a familiarization tour of SCDF first smart fire station - Punggol Fire Station last year. Other than these two places, I hardly know of any attraction in this northeastern part of Singapore.
I started with a morning stroll along the waterway exploring the park connector from Waterway Point Mall to Punggol Point. The waterway is the icon for this eco-town. Near to the mall, there were wall murals erected at the side at hen farming. It was thriving and very peaceful till the Japanese Imperial Army came. Punggol Point became the site of the massacre during the Sook-Ching operation where hundreds to thousands of Chinese were ferried here in lorries and shot dead. The transformation plan to a eco-town was a recent initiative, and the town was developed in 2016.
I could feel the serenity and tranquility at this waterway park: far from the hustle and bustle of city life, zooming cars, noisy engines and toxic exhaust fumes. Here, I heard only the water splashing sound, the bird chirping and inhaled the fresh air from the tall green trees along the banks.
Along my way to One Punggol, I visited the Fo Guang Shan temple. It was a small one compared to the parent monastery at Kaohsiung. I visited the teahouse at the 5th floor and was amazed by the well-decorated setting. The founder, Venerable monk Hsing Yun of Taiwan died at the age of 95. As I left the temple, I still remember his quote on suffering:
Those who recoil and retreat in the face of hardship will accomplish little; only those who are unafraid of suffering and adversity will succeed.
After the stroll, I proceeded to the Punggol Regional Library Co-working space at 4th level of One Punggol to do my work. This library is unique and very modern with plenty of study rooms and adult coworking spaces. There is also a MakeIt studio where you can learn, tinker and create with technology. Free workshops on 3D Printing, Digital Cutting and Robotics are also conducted for those keen to learn.
There is also a hawker center at the 2nd floor of this One Punggol building and I went to have my favorite `Lei Cha' lunch at a very popular stall here. Long queue, reasonable pricing and nourishing delicious food.
After lunch, I strolled around the Waterway Park surrounding SAFRA and visited the Punggol Discovery Cube to watch the virtual video on Punggol Development. There is a free shuttle bus at the Cube that can transport you to the Northshore mall near Punggol Settlement. But I went back to my cozy co-working space to continue my work.
At 6.30 pm, I went up to the 5th floor multi-purpose hall to have my Appreciation dinner. The hall was very big and the dinner very sumptuous with satay, muah chee, tutup kueh and fresh coconut juice.
A fruitful one-day visit to this eco-town with very conducive environment to work, eat and play surrounded by great greenery park and peaceful waterway.

Relaxing and a great and clean place to walk and chat. It is the longest man made waterway as water catchment for sg. You can birds and biodiversity here. Nearby there is the Punggol Waterway Point and Safra Punggol slaking this lovely Waterway.

There is a pool at Safra. Perhaps there are lockers for rent there. I am not sure.

You can park at the shopping mall, Waterway Point, next to the MRT. It's about a 10 mins walk to the Jewel Bridge. Alternatively, there are HDB car parks at the blocks nearby.
