History of Punggol Park
Developed by the National Parks Board and opened in the early 1990s, Punggol Park was created on former agricultural and rural land in Hougang, retaining an existing pond as its central landscape feature. It was later integrated into the Park Connector Network as a key green node in northeastern Singapore.
