URA (Singapore) unveils its ‘Leisure Plan’

The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is developing a first-ever 150km round-island path as part of its Leisure Plan. The round-island route will be developed over the next 10 to 15 years, but up to two-thirds of the path – which includes the Punggol Coastal Promenade – could be ready in just five years.

At three and a half times the length of the Pan-Island Expressway (PIE), the route will comprise existing and new park connectors, waterfront promenades and other trails. It will cover leisure destinations at the Marina Bay, Changi Point and the upcoming Jurong Lake District. One can also expect to be connected to the new coastal promenades at Punggol and also the recently unveiled bridges at the Southern Ridges.

In addition to the ‘Leisure Plan’, the National Parks Board will also be launching a Wetland Master Plan in the Sungei Buloh area to promote “bio-learning” activities.
