Singapore - A adventurous walk from Serangoon MRT to Coney Island Park - we did it! it was a long and tiring walk.   The last time I was at Coney island was with Lesley 25 July 2017.  7 years ago.   Along the way we across a prawn fishing @ Hai Bin at Punggol.

LORONG HALUS WETLAND

A short distance along the park connector we come across Lorong Halus Wetland,  a picturesque area, with ponds surrounded by tall reeds and white rocky fields, a hidden dirt track, and a bridge where you can get a perfect view of the sunset.

Before Lorong Halus Wetland was built in 2011, this area was known for its sewage disposal centre and landfill facilities.   Located on swampy ground along Sungei Blukar, the Sludge Works functioned in tandem with the Sewage Disposal Works at Kim Chuan Road. Sludge, or solid waste left after treatment of sewage, was sold as fertiliser or used to reclaim swampland in the area. The facility also handled night soil (human excrement collected in buckets) and was the last such disposal station when the system ended in 1987.

Today, the Lorong Halus Wetland serves as a bio-remediation system for the Serangoon Reservoir and a haven for biodiversity.

CONEY ISLAND EAST GATE

There is no much development happening on Coney Island - and it is the OBS@Coney Island.  Outward Bound Singapore (OBS) announced on June 4 that it would begin construction of OBS@Coney, a new campus on Coney Island.

We bashed through the jungle of Coney Island......

There is a nice beach at the end of this 

We rested for a while and then continued our hike towards the other end of Coney Island - West Gate.

We finally reach Punggol Point - so many HDB flats are being constructed.  

We took the LRT and MRT back to Serangoon MRT - it was a fun and tiring day of walking.
