Punggol to retain its fishing village heritage

Read? Punggol Promenade is a 5-kilometre long public waterfront promenade

Createwealth8888: New route for extending your jogging or cycling in Punggol.


As Punggol is in the midst of being transformed into an eco-town, the Housing and Development Board (HDB) is looking at how to preserve its fishing village heritage for both the younger and older generations.


For instance, the 4.2-kilometre man-made Punggol Waterway, which will be open to visitors from Sunday, runs through the town to provide residents with a waterfront living space, while seeking to retain the seaside charm of the old Punggol.

Features such as a "kelong" bridge, heritage panels and a heartwave wall with motif panels will be built along the waterway for residents to learn about the history of the town as they go about their recreational activities.
