5 Best Budget-Friendly Things To Do In Sengkang

sengkang things to do

While it may not be as popular as its siblinghood of Punggol, Sengkang has progressed quite a lot since its sleepy days as a fishing and plantation village. Although it is still a relatively quiet neighborhood, you’ll be surprised to learn that Sengkang is home to scenic parks close to nature, noteworthy hawker selections, and other outdoorsy destinations just waiting to be explored. 

Here are 5 of the best things to do in Sengkang that are worth the trip without hurting your budget. 

1. Take a Calming Stroll at the Tranquil Sengkang Riverside Park

This biodiversity-rich wetland is home to various aquatic flora and is a habitat for a variety of mangrove birds and damselflies. With a sprawling 213K sqm., you’ll find pockets of lush foliage above waters, which is best viewed from the elevated bridge. Alternatively, you may embark on a light hike among the lalang fields and discover tropical fruit-bearing trees. Cycling paths are also laid out for light cardio or find a cool shade among the trees or under a fruit-shaped sculpture.

Hours: Open 24 Hours

2. Splash in the Cool Waters of Sengkang Swimming Complex

Equipped with 8 slides, an Olympic-sized pool, a water playground for children, and a jacuzzi pool, the Sengkang Swimming Complex is the neighborhood’s response to Wild Wild Wet, the local style. Aside from water activities, the complex also has a hockey pitch and soccer field to get your body moving. It’s also very affordable at $1.50 for adults and $0.80 for seniors and children.

Hours: 6:30 AM – 9:30 PM (Tue-Thur-Sat), 8:00 AM – 9:30 PM (Wed, Fri, Sun) Closed on Mondays

3. Marvel at the Chinese and Hindu Temples at Rivervale Crescent

With 2 stunningly gorgeous temples side by side, these Sengkang landmarks are a sight to behold. The Arulmigu Velmurugan Gnanamuneeswarar Temple is a maximalist’s dream with its bright pastel-colored sculptures and reliefs that adorn the edifice from top to bottom. Next to it is the imposing Tian Guo Fo Tang, clad in all white that radiates a reassuring and calming vibe.

Hours: 7:00 AM – 12:00 PM & 6:30 PM – 9:30 PM Daily 

4. Wait for the Sundown at Punggol Park

Although this part of Punggol Park is already in Hougang, this place is frequented by Sengkang locals for its close proximity and luxuriant foliages that usher the paved roads perfect for leisurely walking or cycling. This Instagrammable park also has a serene lake with the best views from the alfresco dining of Five&2

This social enterprise bistro is a favorite among locals who want to cap the night with some good food, drinks, and ambiance. We highly recommend the Braised Beef Cheek with Saffron Risotto ($21.80).

Five&2

5. Whet Your Appetite at Sengkang Square

Indeed, the best way to explore a neighborhood is through its hawker fare. And it is really a shame to skip the Sengkang Square with its stalwart favorites that have been delighting locals for years. The King of Fried Rice is made for royalty with its fragrant egg fried rice with the tastiest pork cutlets for only $6.50. 

Sengkang Square Oyster Omelette and Carrot Cake are also hard to beat and are impossible to compare. 

Address: 10 Sengkang Square, Kopitiam Square, Singapore 544829

Hours: Stall hours vary

In case you haven’t realized, Sengkang is the second most populous district in North-East Singapore. With more developments in the pipeline, we can expect that it will just get even more exciting.
