Punggol Park offers a simple place to get some exercise to clear your mind, or sit back and relax. With lush trees and a tranquil waterfront, this park in Hougang is a nice place to visit as a family for some simple leisure time.
Punggol Park: Centred Around the Lake
It’s like an oasis in the middle of a jungle of concrete. Personally, the best time to pay it a visit is in the evening when it is cooler.
About the size of six football fields, the 5-ha lake defines Punggol Park. There are paths around it and it is about 1 km to circumvent the lake.
Punggol Park Therapeutic Garden
Opened in December 2024, the Punggol Park Therapeutic Garden is a 2,000 square metre space that is divided into two zones, an active zone and a passive zone.
The Punggol Park Therapeutic Garden also includes a number of firsts.
It has the first outdoor boccia court where people can play the precision ball sport. The game is a paraolympic sport and the boccia court at Punggol Court can also be used as a multi-purpose court.
There is also a wheelchair obstacle course and an inclusive agility course for wheelchair users. This can be used by those in wheelchairs to strengthen their upper body and improve their balance.
The Punggol Park wheelchair obstacle course was designed in consultation with the Singapore Disability Sports Council.
Other facilities include an inclusive fitness corner that is suitable for wheelchair users.
At the passive zone of the Punggol Park Therapeutic Garden, you can find meditation decks. These are designed to be used by those who wish to unwind with activities such as yoga.
You can even scan a QR code to listen to a relaxing Spotify playlist.
The Punggol Park Therapeutic Garden is located close to the Punggol Park Playground.
