The park's wetland area acts as a bio-filtration system that cleans water before it enters the Punggol Reservoir.
It hosts an 'Orchard' segment specifically dedicated to displaying varieties of tropical fruit trees.
The park is a key node in the 26-kilometer North Eastern Riverine Loop connecting Sengkang to Punggol and Hougang.
Several types of damselflies and dragonflies inhabit the marshlands, serving as bio-indicators of the water quality.
The design integrates flood management by allowing sections of the park to safely collect and retain excess storm water.
Sengkang Riverside Park is a 21-hectare park centered around the Punggol Reservoir and an extensive man-made wetland system designed for water filtration. It is unique for its large-scale integrated marshland, which utilizes aquatic plants to naturally treat runoff from the surrounding residential areas. The park features a diverse collection of tropical fruit trees, including durian, rambutan, and mangosteen, planted throughout the landscape. Visitors can access a network of cycling and jogging paths that connect to the broader North Eastern Riverine Loop. The park serves as a habitat for local biodiversity, particularly water birds such as the little egret and purple heron. It includes elevated boardwalks that allow close-up observation of the wetland's flora and fauna without disturbing the ecosystem. The terrain is largely flat, catering to families and recreational athletes alike.
The elevated bridge spanning the Sengkang Floating Wetland offers a panoramic view of the water and surrounding flora.
Bring insect repellent, as the wetland environment increases mosquito activity.
Utilize the designated cycling tracks to avoid conflict with pedestrians on the narrower boardwalks.
Visit the 'Orchard' area early in the season to catch the trees in fruit-bearing stages.
Do not attempt to walk off-path into the marshland vegetation, as these areas are protected to maintain water quality.
Cyclists must yield to pedestrians; do not feed local wildlife or pick fruits from the park trees.
