Punggol Heritage Trail

Pause for a nostalgic photo at a recreated bus stop, with a design reminiscent of Singapore’s old bus stops. 

Enjoy rustic walks along over 1 kilometre of walking trails, such as the Orchard Track, Cascading Track, and Barringtonia Track, named after Barringtonia trees that are planted along the track. 

Learn more about the area’s rich heritage – once home to Kampong Punggol, private zoos, and the pig farming district.

Much of the existing greenery has been preserved, including trees that have grown for over half a century, to retain the area’s unique topography and rustic charm. Among these are Sea Almond (Terminalia catappa) and Common Pulai ( Alstonia angustiloba) trees. Additional native tree species, such as the Pianggu (Horsfieldia irya) and the bird-attracting Small-leafed Oil-fruit ( Elaeocarpus mastersii) have also been introduced to further enrich the landscape.

Try to spot Rambutan or Durian trees – species that were likely planted by Punggol settlers and still stand as reminder of the area’s heritage. 

The Common Tiger Butterfly is easily recognised by its vivid orange wings with strongly marked black veins, which sometimes cause it to be mistaken for the Black Veined Tiger.

Known for its melodious song, the Oriental Magpie Robin is a small bird with distinctive plumage. The male spots striking black and white colours, while the female has a dark grey breast. Both sexes have long tails. This protected species is often found in our nature reserves and parks.
