woodlands waterfront

ura will be building a 1.5-km long promenade and a nine-hectare park along a tranquil stretch of coastline in woodlands to improve accessibility to the area and to open up the scenic waterfront.

the promenade, in the form of boardwalk will be built over the seawall to bring visitors closer to the water's edge. a park will also be created right next to the coastal promenade. the design of the park leverages on the existing terrain and contours to create interesting spaces and views within the park.

there will be jogging and fitness trail and cycling tracks for fitness enthusiasts; playgrounds for young children; event spaces to hold outdoor community functions; picnic areas for families; and nature trails as a haven for nature lovers. (this area used to house some junk yards and workshops where i used to have my car serviced.)

an old jetty connected to the park will also be refurbished to allow for recreational activities. (there are actually two jetties there; one - the woodlands north jetty - is still in use by shell petroleum company.)

the woodlands waterfront - set for completion in 2010 - will form part of the comprehensive network of parks and park connectors in the area. it will be linked to the newly-opened admiralty park and woodlands town garden through a park connector that runs through the estate.
