One of the sites I'm going to introduce is the PUNGGOL WATERWAY

Just a side note, Punggol used to be a fishing village, having lots of pig and poultry farms as well as vegetable plantations.

My Waterway @ Punggol, is a joint agency project between HDB and NParks. 

The Waterway increases the park and water frontage for the housing estates, as well as providing a clean and green environment for the residents living in punggol. 

There are 4 themes in the Punggol Waterway:

1. Nature Cove
