It was a hot Friday morning.
Our first destination of the day is Lorong Halus. Initial plan is to park our car at Punggol estate and walked to the wetland through Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk. However, the riverside walk was not near the main road, and we did not know where to enter. So in the end, we drove directly to the wetland instead.
Lorong Halus, a quiet road.
Lorong Halus is known for being a landfill many years ago. As Sungei Serangoon becomes a reservoir, the wetland provides additional fresh water into the reservoir. It's nice that this piece of land has been given a eco-friendly new look.
Did not managed to find many water lilies though.
Lots of Cattails grown here.
This is the bridge which connects the wetland to Punggol Promenade Riverside Walk.
Many cyclists and joggers cross over here.
View of Punggol New Town across Sungei Serangoon.Well, the wetland is small, and even though it's a "wetland", don't expect to see mangroves like those found in Pasir Ris Park or Sungei Buloh. A little disappointment is tt the place is really too small, and the vegetation there was rather limited.
--Punggol Point--
I have not been to this place for 10 over yrs. My last memory was the seafood restaurants near Punggol Jetty. Still missed the fried squids, and E.W missed her Punggol Mee Goreng.
Punggol Point is turning into a park, but it's not ready yet. In the future, I cld cycle to Punggol Point from Punggol Park!
I had long forgotten the beach here. The sand is so white~! Many rocks found along the beach as well.
The jetty. A place for fishing lovers.
We walked to the new park which is not opened to the public yet.
Cld see Pulau Ubin from afar.
We'll get to see water lilies in ponds like this in the future.
On our way to Sengkang...the old Punggol road.--Sengkang Riverside Park--
Another wetland-themed park in Anchorvale neighbourhood.
The park is pretty big, and it is split into two parts, but there's a underpass connector to connect them.

We walked to the park's main attraction, Floating Island. Got to see mangroves here.

It's not easy to find such a view in a modern HDB neighbourhood.
