ABC Waters Floating Wetland At Jurong Lake Is Now Open To The Public

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.

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.

If you’re in need of an idyllic escape from work, here’s how to get to ABC Waters:


ABC Waters @ Jurong Lake
Address: Jurong Lake Gardens, Yuan Ching Road
Opening hours: 24 hours daily
Nearest MRT: Lakeside Station

PUB suggests accessing ABC Waters via the Jurong Park Connector along Yuan Ching Road, just next to Lakeside MRT station.

While you’re there, remember to keep a safe distance, as we’re sure many eager folks will be there to check the place out.

A new spot for some quiet recreation

While new eateries and stores are worth visiting, outdoorsy places like this offer a greater sense of adventure.

So if you’re on the lookout for somewhere different to spend your weekends at, you might want to add ABC Waters @ Jurong Lake to your list.

Hopefully, we’ll see more of such places around, providing space for us to enjoy nature in an accessible setting.
