The pond features a floating wetland system that uses plants like Canna and Pandanus to process urban runoff.
The boardwalk is designed with a low profile to provide visitors with a direct eye-level perspective of the water surface and aquatic life.
Pang Sua Pond was formerly a utilitarian drainage basin before its 2017 transformation into an eco-park.
The project won the Landscape Excellence Assessment Programme (LEAP) certification for its integration of water management and community space.
The site functions as a natural habitat for various local bird species and aquatic insects, acting as a small-scale urban oasis.
The floating structure relies on a modular grid system that allows the wetlands to remain buoyant despite changes in water levels.
Pang Sua Pond is a functional urban reservoir that integrates natural filtration systems with public recreational space. It is the second-largest man-made floating wetland in Singapore, covering 1.8 hectares. The site serves as a vital component of the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) Programme, treating stormwater runoff from the surrounding Bukit Panjang residential area before it enters the drainage system. A 480-metre-long boardwalk suspended above the water provides the primary path for pedestrians. The infrastructure includes a specialized bio-filtration system consisting of various aquatic plants that naturally remove pollutants from the water. It connects to the nearby Zhenghua Park via a network of park connectors. The site was extensively repurposed from a simple rectangular drainage pond into its current aesthetic and ecological design by the national water agency, PUB.

Bring insect repellent as the combination of standing water and vegetation attracts mosquitoes.
Visit during the golden hour to capture the reflection of the surrounding high-rise buildings on the pond's surface.
Stay on the designated boardwalks to avoid trampling the restored shoreline vegetation.
