The driving philosophy behind the transformation of Yishun Pond is the idea of placemaking, which encourages the creation of public spaces to promote active lifestyles and well being as well as foster a sense of community. It is also part of the Active, Beautiful, Clean Waters (ABC Waters) programme which aims to transform Singapore’s water bodies and create new spaces for recreation and community bonding, turning Singapore into a City of Gardens and Water. With this makeover, Yishun Pond has been transformed into a multi-generational, health-promoting park. Residents in the vicinity and patients at the adjacent Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH) will be able to use the place for exercise, recreation, interaction and recuperation. The project, focuses on enhancing accessibility, improving water quality, creating new green spaces and encouraging active lifestyles in the community.
