Sengkang Riverside Park is a riverine park located at Anchorvale Street abutting Sungei Punggol, Singapore. The park consist of three open-space land parcels and is also home to a constructed wetland.

The 21-hectare park was opened to the public in November 2008. The park is situated alongside the Punggol Reservoir. The integration of urban planning and protection of our water resources has earned Sengkang Riverside Park an ABC Waters Certification.[1]

Constructed Wetland

The constructed wetland is an artificial marshes or swamps, created to process waste water, surface run-off or to treat natural sewage. It also acts as a wildlife habitat and the water collected in the pond can be used for plant watering. The wetland have two sedimentation basins to slow down the high water speeds in storms, so that minimal damage is done to wetland habitat.

Sengkang Floating Wetland

On 7 November 2010, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong officially opened the floating wetland that is designed with a "fruitful" theme. The wetland is about half the size of a football field, and connects the Sengkang Riverside Park with the Sengkang Sports Complex. The floating wetland helps to collect and filter rainwater naturally through its aquatic plants. The wetland also acts as a habitat for fish, birds and other wildlife. Since the completion of the wetland, more birds and dragonflies were noticed to be attracted in the area.[2]
