How to get to Punggol

Punggol is located in the North-East Region of Singapore. Sengkang borders it to the south, Seletar to the west and Pasir Ris to the east. The Straits of Johor and Coney Island are north of Punggol.
Getting to and around Punggol is easy! First, there are amazing cycling networks and public transport facilities. You can hop on the MRT, LRT or expressways if you drive. Head to the North-East Line via Dhoby Ghaut to get to Punggol MRT or the newly added Punggol Coast MRT. The LRT network also makes places in Punggol easily accessible.
Did you know that Punggol could get even more accessible by 2030 when the North-East Line is extended to serve Punggol Downtown? Additionally, the Cross Island Line will be ready and could shorten commute time to Punggol.
Things to do in Punggol: Playgrounds, water play & parks
1. Head to one of the new fantastic playgrounds in Punggol Point Cove
Have you seen the latest playgrounds at Punggol Point Cove? Photography: Raiz Redwan
Thanks to all the new families and HDBs being built around Punggol, new playgrounds are sprouting up all the time. At 673B Edgefield Plains, there’s a huge webbed swing with a waved climbing structure, while the playground at 270B Punggol Field looks pretty special with its caterpillar climbing structure. There are also newly built tiger and elephant themed playgrounds near block 448A Punggol Point Cove. It almost makes us wish we were kids again!

2. Explore the Punggol Container Park

Heads up: Punggol Container Park is closing from November 2026. If you haven’t been, go soon — this laid-back hangout by the Punggol Serangoon Reservoir has been a family favourite for years and it’s worth a last visit before it wraps up. If you and the kids want to try a new sport, there’s a dedicated pickleball venue — Play! Pickle offers family classes for up to four members led by certified instructors from $160 for one class. The park also has Ark Bloc bouldering, Ernsports rollersports coaching (inline skating, skateboarding and longboarding), and several riverside eateries, though most are open in the evenings. There’s also a mini playground if the little ones get bored midway through dinner, and community gardens for green thumbs.
Punggol Container Park, 50 Punggol East, Singapore 828824. Open until November 2026.
3. Splish and splash at Splash @ Kidz Amaze, an indoor water park in Punggol!

Your little water babies are in for an awesome time at Splash @ Kidz Amaze at Safra Punggol. If you’re like us and always worry about slathering enough sunscreen on your bubs, you’ll love that it’s indoors. And that means you can play for hours in the ‘Enchanted Deep Sea’ without worrying about sunburn. With multiple play decks, a themed splash pad and five water slides, you’re guaranteed at least an hour or two of whinge-free frolics (woohoo!).
Splash @ Kidz Amaze entry fees: $14.15 (weekdays) and $17.20 (weekends and public holidays) for SAFRA members; $18.20 (weekdays) and $22.25 (weekends and public holidays) for guests
Splash @ Kidz Amaze, Safra Punggol, 9 Sentul Cres, Singapore 828654
4. Enjoy both dry and wet play for FREE at Happy Park at Waterway Point

When you’re done shopping at Waterway Point Mall, schlep the kids over to Happy Park. It’s got both wet and dry play areas for littlies of all ages (although we think it’s best for mobile bubs aged two and up) that they’ll love exploring. There are lily pads to hop on, a small wading pool, and many small fountains to splash around in. Another cool bonus? It looks extra pretty at night with all the LED lights.
Happy Park at Waterway Point opening hours: 10am to 7pm
Free entry!
Waterway Point, 83 Punggol Central, Singapore 828761
5. Bike along the Punggol Park Connector
If biking is your cup of tea, the 26km-long Punggol Park Connector could be just your jelly. It’s a great way to hit all your Punggol parks in one go, including Punggol Waterway and even Sengkang Floating Wetland. Try bike sharing or rent a bike from Bike Stop at SAFRA Punggol or GoCycling! While you’re at it, check out Kampong Lorong Buangkok, Singapore’s last surviving traditional village.
6. Stroll along the Punggol Promenade Punggol Point Walk boardwalk

There’s nothing more calming than taking a nice, leisurely stroll with views of the sea and the sound of lapping waves. Located near the recently completed Punggol Point Cove BTO project, the Punggol Promenade Punggol Point Walk boardwalk is easy enough for even the little ones to conquer — plus, it’s stroller-friendly and wheelchair-friendly! It’s one of the shorter boardwalks in Singapore so you can easily slot it into your next outing in Punggol.
7. Picnic at Punggol Waterway Park
Whether you want to sit down and have a picnic or go on a bike ride in Punggol with kids, you can do all these and more at Punggol Waterway Park. It has four different zones, including Nature Cove, a grassy area where families can kick a ball or settle down with some snacks, and a Recreation Zone where you can continue with the water play or sand play. Check out the Heritage Zone for more nature goodness or The Green Gallery for some trail walking. Don’t forget to play “Spot The Otter!”

8. Kayak along Punggol Waterway

One of the best ways to experience the calm and scenic waters is to kayak! This requires planning in advance and booking with SAFRA Punggol or Fever.sg for the kayaks, safety gear, and instructors. Instead of paddling with your hands, you’ll be pedalling with your feet on these kayaks — it’s super easy, very beginner and child-friendly (minimum seven years old). Journey through the ecosystem, discover aromatic plants found in local dishes and you might even spot friendly locals like the butterflies, dragonflies, or even reptiles!
SAFRA Punggol, 9 Sentul Cres, Singapore 828654
9. Spend the day at Coney Island
It’s no secret that we’re big fans of green spaces and rustic parks, and Coney Island ticks all these boxes. You’ll need to pack your mozzie repellent and sunblock for this though, because certain areas are known to have their share of sandflies. If you don’t have bikes of your own, rent some from Jomando Adventure & Recreation, located at the end of Punggol Settlement. Or if you’ve cycled enough and are looking for a break, look for signs that’ll direct you to five beach areas where you can while away the day. If the kids want more adventures, check out the obstacle course at the Casuarina Exploration Playground!
10. Spot turtles at Punggol Point Park
Who knew Punggol could be so darn picturesque? Settle down by the promenade, and you’ll get a great view of the open sea from here. Kids will also love saying hello to the turtles at the Water Lily Ponds or playing at the sandy playground. You could even walk to the jetty and try your hand at fishing!
Punggol Point Park, Punggol Point Rd, Singapore 828871
11. Go prawning
Photos: Hai Bin Punggol via Facebook
Looking for something new to do with the kids along Tebing Lane in Punggol? Try prawning! It’s much easier than fishing and less work too. And the best part, of course, is barbecuing the prawns after and reaping the benefits of your newfound prawning skills! Note: Hai Bin Punggol is located at Punggol Container Park, which is closing from November 2026 — head down before then for a last round of catching and grilling.
Prawning rates: $24 for one hour, $44 for two hours with one hour free
Hai Bin Punggol, 6 Tebing Lane #01-04, Singapore 828835
12. Try an archery course!
Looking for something more adventurous? Why not try your hand at archery? The Archery Club of Singapore offers introductory, advanced and competitive classes. Kids can have private classes where an experienced trainer teaches them the basic shooting techniques, or they can learn the fundamentals in a group setting.
Archery Club of Singapore, Punggol South Archery Centre, 437 Hougang Ave 8, Singapore 530437
13. Visit the Punggol Regional Library

The five-storey Punggol Regional Library has heaps of fun things for the kids to explore! With an amazing selection of books for all ages, a dress-up corner with toys and puppets, DIY tinkering station and more, kids can easily spend hours here — and we’re not complaining, because yay aircon!
Punggol Regional Library, #01-12, One Punggol, 1 Punggol Drive, Singapore 828629
14. Dive into Wan To Play Ocean Fantasy at Punggol Coast Mall
One of the newest and largest indoor playgrounds in the Punggol area, Wan To Play Ocean Fantasy is an ocean-themed space packed with indoor duck boat rides, mini F1 cars, ball pits, a fishing pond and sensory play for younger kids. A two-hour session covering one child and one adult costs $35, with additional fees for some premium experiences. Open daily from 10am to 10pm — a reliable rainy-day plan for families on the northeast side of the island.
Wan To Play Ocean Fantasy, Punggol Coast Mall, 84 Punggol Way, Singapore 829911. Open daily 10am to 10pm. From $35 per session (one child and one adult).
15. Play at Kiztopia Club Punggol
Kiztopia’s first duplex playground in the northeast spans 5,500 sq ft across two storeys with 12 play concepts, including role-play rooms, an AR game zone and obstacle courses — a solid option for kids who want more structured play variety. Tickets start from $19.80.
Kiztopia Club Punggol, Punggol Town Square. From $19.80. Check kiztopia.sg for current opening hours and booking.
Where to eat in Punggol: Cafes, casual eateries, and hawker stalls
There are a number of food options you can choose from at the malls in Punggol. Some places we love at Waterway Point are the usual stalwarts like Tim Ho Wan, Yayoi, Din Tai Fung, Soup Spoon Union, Genki Sushi and more. You can also find an array of dining options at the Oasis Terraces and Northshore Malls.
If you prefer a change of scene, head to The Punggol Settlement for seafront dining — House of Seafood and Ponggol Seafood serve up only the freshest bites. Note that Punggol Container Park at Tebing Lane, which has been home to eateries like Whisk and Paddle and Firenzie Bar & Bistro, is closing from November 2026. Go before it’s gone.

Where to shop in Punggol: Best malls
We’re spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping malls in Singapore. Punggol has a few cool malls with several kid-friendly amenities! We highly recommend these places during your visit:
NEW: Punggol Coast Mall
Image: r/SiT_Singapore via Reddit
This mall, connected to the Punggol Coast MRT station, offers a modern experience and has an open-air plaza that’s perfect for community events. There are over 120 stores including Muji’s first outlet in the northeast! You’ll have lots of dining options too, including fan favourites like Din Tai Fung, Astons, Jollibee, Mr. Coconut, Ya Kun Kaya Toast, and much more. Families will also love Wan To Play Ocean Fantasy — the largest new indoor playground in the area — right inside the mall.
Punggol Coast Mall, New Punggol Road, Singapore 828604
Northshore Plaza I & II
The Northshore Plaza malls, which opened in 2025, are among the newer additions to Punggol. Split into two sections connected via a bridge, you’ll find a surfeit of options for shopping and dining — plus cool outdoor playgrounds in both malls.
Northshore Plaza I, 407 Northshore Drive, Singapore 820407 and Northshore Plaza II, 418 Northshore Drive, Singapore 820418
Oasis Terraces
Located next to the Punggol waterway, Oasis Terraces is an indoor integrated shopping mall designed to be family-friendly with a number of amenities. The mall offers a diverse selection of dining options, including restaurants and cafes. We love the rooftop water play area — the perfect place for kiddos to cool off on a hot day.
Oasis Terraces, 681 Punggol Drive, Singapore 820681
Waterway Point
Located in the heart of Punggol right beside the Punggol MRT/LRT station, Waterway Point is a four-storey mall with a free indoor playground called Wonderland, with toddler-friendly play areas. For older kiddos, there’s a rabbit-themed playground with tall slides, trampolines and more — plus the wet playground Happy Park. You can also find yummy eats, shops and amazing waterway views.
