Family Day At Punggol Point
My dad suggested that we would be going to Punggol Road End for our family day today. It has been a while since my family has been out together.
Punggol Point is located in Punggol, in northeastern Singapore.It is reached from Upper Serangoon Road which begins in the Potong Pasir area by Punggol Road to a dead end. This is the area is known as Punggol Point. Punggol Point was surrounded by seafood restaurants in the 80s and the 90s which were very popular back then. The area is undeveloped now to the east. Punggol Point is relatively isolated from the rest of Singapore. The closest LRT station here is the Punggol Point LRT Station of the Punggol LRT Line which is not currently in operation. SBS Transit Service 82 is available from Serangoon Bus Interchange. This service used to operate between the former Punggol Bus Terminal (which was on the end of Punggol Point) and Shenton Way Bus Terminal. When Punggol Bus Interchange and the North East Line opened this service was changed into a loop service from Serangoon Interchange looping at a bus stop (Punggol Road End) due to NEL rationalisation. Samudera LRT Station which is not operational is at the end of Punggol 17th Avenue
We had a good time, even though it was short as we enjoyed the breeze. Dad was sharing with us about his fun times that he had when he was young at Punggol Point during the short visit.
Although the visit was short, it was a great family bonding trip. I had the chance to learn the rerouted Service 82 as well, as I never had the chance to board on the Service since it was rerouted.
