The Voyager Trail enables you to learn more about the eco-design of Waterway Terraces I and Punggol's sustainable development initiatives.
Walking Distance: 100m
Waterway Terraces I is the first housing project along My Waterway @ Punggol, with green landscapes inspired by terraced rice fields across Southeast Asia. The precinct has many green features to help residents lead an eco-friendly lifestyle. Green features include:
• Energy-efficient lifts The lifts utilise AC Variable Voltage and Variable Frequency (VVVF) motor drives and have a sleep mode function, which switches off the lights and ventilation fans when in idle mode.
• Rain garden (bioretention swales) The rain garden, located around the common green area, detains and treats rainwater run-offs before discharging them into the stormwater drains for more effective water management.
• Sun pipe system This system operates within the basement car park to channel daylight into the car park, thus reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
My Waterway@Punggol, designed and built by HDB, is Singapore's first man-made waterway. The 4.2-kilometre waterway meanders through the entire Punggol Eco-Town. The waterway and landscape promenade design embraces the area's rich coastal heritage, providing more opportunities for water-based recreational activities and sports right next to the heartlands. From freshwater mangroves that clean the water to themed outdoor furniture made from recycled materials, My Waterway@Punggol is an achievement in urban sustainability.
Flanked by Waterway Point Mall and My Waterway@ Punggol, Punggol Town Square is a great gathering point for residents to come together and mingle while enjoying various events and activities.
Well-integrated with transport facilities such as the Punggol MRT station and with shopping, dining, and other facilities at Waterway Point, Punggol Town Square is an ideal place for the community to strengthen community ties. We hold regular activities here, such as weekly exercise sessions. Every resident can play a part in contributing to Punggol's vibrancy by participating in activities at the square.

Housed in Punggol Town Square is the Punggol Discovery Cube - the first visitor centre in an HDB town. It showcases the evolution and development of Singapore’s first eco-Town and visitors can learn about the transformation of Punggol from a fishing village into a sustainable waterfront town.
Visit the Cube and be greeted with an interactive model of Punggol eco-town that showcases the town in its entirety. A 5.8-metre long wall highlights the development and future plans for Punggol through videos and infographics.
