In the works for SAFRA Punggol: Water activities facility, 30-day carnival

SINGAPORE — The newest SAFRA clubhouse in town, which is just next to the Punggol Waterway Park at Sentul Crescent, will introduce a water activities facility later this year.

The club, which opened this weekend to more than 9,000 NSmen and their families, already operates a bicycle rental service for users. “We are also exploring with the relevant authorities to introduce a facility to provide equipment for water activities, such as kayaks, which NSmen and their families can rent on a daily basis,” said Major (NS) Terence Quek, chairman of the SAFRA Punggol Executive Committee.

As part of the opening of the club, SAFRA said that it will roll out a “30 Days of Fun Carnival” for the month of June. The activities will include a series of fitness certification workshops and group exercise sessions.

It will also stage a multi-disciplinary race — the SAFRA Punggol Waterway Challenge — on June 11. This will feature kayaking, biking, running and obstacle challenges like archery tag, water slides, trampoline and tyre flips along Punggol Waterway Park and Coney Island. The five-storey SAFRA Punggol, which cost S$64.4 million to develop, is expected to serve 80,000 NSmen and their families living in the North-east region of Singapore. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
