It has been a few days since I have been unwell. However, on the weekend morning, it was not too hot and the children were well-behaved (they didn't wake me up as they knew I was unwell), I decided to bring them out for some outdoor activities. Was I crazy to make this decision when I was sick? Well, breathing some fresh air could be a great medicine, I thought.
So here we were - Punggol Settlement.
There is a bicycle rental shop at level one of the building, and there is another one near Punggol Jetty. We rented two children's bicycles from the one at the building, which cost S$8 per bicycle per hour. It is more expensive than the bicycle rental shops at East Coast Park. However,the stretch of cycling track along Punggol Settlement was not as crowded as East Coast Park, so it was a better choice for our children who have yet to master cycling skill.
Can you imagine a sick mum running after the children on bicycles? I think I may have run a few kilometers!
There is a playground next to the building. (Note to self, remember to bring the sand play toys along next time!)

Next to the playground is a pool with many many turtles! See the turtles fighting for food!
There are not many big trees around the area, you can imagine I looked like a lobster after the sun-tanning. Many restaurants were closed when we visited there in the morning. Perhaps we shall visit during evening next time!
The children had great fun, and their smiles and laughters were the best medicine for their sick MaMi!

Ai, this place is fun! Am sure your girl would love it!
DeleteOh.. I didn't know there was a sand playground here! And look at those turtles!! Think my kids would love them. I should go there for dinner one of these days. It seems like a nice cosy place for dinner.
ReplyDeleteBumble Bee Mum, our purpose to visit there was for children to learn cycling, didn't know about the playground beforehand too.
DeleteNow I'm staying in Sengkang, I need to check out this place soon. Those turtles are cute!
ReplyDeleteMamamie, there are many turtles! Took that photo when someone was feeding them.
DeleteI've never been or heard of the punggol settlement :) is it a large park?
ReplyDeleteMay, the path outside Punggol Settlement links to Punggol Promenade and Punggol Point Park, which are quite big.
DeleteWoah! I did not know that Punggol has such a fun place for family activities! Thanks for the information.
ReplyDeleteCheers,

Soon Koon, Punggol is getting more happening nowadays!
DeleteLooks like a nice outdoor place for family recreation! Where is it located?
ReplyDeleteAngie, it is located at Punggol Point, you can drive along Punggol Road, all the way to the end.
DeleteWe were there a few months back! Love the scenery and we cycled there too. We went in the late afternoon and it was breezy. The playground was quite awesome too :)
ReplyDeleteChristy, we love the scenery too!
DeleteBeen here once when they were still getting it ready with all the cafes. Will go again soon since its like so near!
ReplyDeleteClaudia, we haven't explored those eateries yet. Will try them out!
DeleteWe went there before and it was a nice place to walk in the evening. However there are lots of mosquitoes in the evening.
ReplyDeleteJolin, we went in the morning, lucky we didn't get mosquito kisses.
DeleteVery lovely place to visit and the few restaurants around there are pretty good too. We had seafood at one of them and I heard the white bee hoon is awesome too. Have you tried that?
ReplyDeleteSusan, we haven't tried the food there yet, shall try some day.
