ABC Waters Floating Wetland At Jurong Lake Is Now Open To The Public
With more Singaporeans choosing to explore our little red dot as travel restrictions persist, you’ll be glad to know that there’s a new spot to visit for your weekend stroll.
On 9 Jul, the PUB announced the opening of ABC Waters, a floating wetland at Jurong Lake.
The picturesque boardwalk stands atop Singapore’s largest man-made floating wetlands and features a red pavilion for those Instaworthy picture opportunities.

According to PUB, ABC Waters at Jurong Lake comprises 3,850 m² of floating wetlands that improve the water quality of the reservoir and serve as a natural habitat for wildlife.
Among the wildlife visitors may be able to encounter are the island’s famous otters.
Featuring boardwalks in all directions, splashes of colour like these metallic panels in different shades of blue add much vibrancy to the location.
Cross the blue bridge and you’ll arrive at this open area with a grand view of Jurong Lake all around.
Patches of greenery complement the design of the boardwalk, allowing visitors to admire the flora and fauna up close.
Fishing enthusiasts should note that you won’t be able to fish here. If you wish to, you can head over to the nearby designated fishing area at Jurong Lake.
After a lot of walking, you’d want to take a break at this red pavilion, which is vaguely reminiscent of the red bridge at Lorong Halus. Standing in contrast to the greenery, it makes for an outstanding photo backdrop.
