Sengkang Riverside Park

This park was open in 2008 and is located in the northeastern part of the city. It receives various kinds of an award like ABC Water Certification for the addition of sustainable urban planning with the security of the water resources of the city. A tranquil and calm park, you will instantly forget that the marsh plants in the manmade wetlands that draw abundant biodiversities such as birds, fish, and dragonflies were originally manually planted.

All parts of this park provide jogging, biking, or hiking tracks, and joggers must not miss the exceptional Fruit Tree Trail that features sixteen different tropical fruit-bearing trees. Some are very exotic you have perhaps never heard before.

Inside the park is the Civic Lawn that you can hire for private events or functions as well as the parks also come with a Visitors Centre. For a quick refreshment or a post, run means you go to Mushroom Café, located inside the part. There is overnight lightning which makes this park ideal for nighttime running. A shower facility is also available and located near the Recreation Centre and Sengkang Sports.
