Lower Seletar Reservoir and the Parks Around Chencharu Central Residences

Green space is one of the defining features of the neighbourhood around Chencharu Central Residences. Lower Seletar Reservoir Park is about 710 metres from the site in a straight line, a neighbourhood park runs from the site east to Khatib station, and HDB’s plan for Chencharu adds a new park with a heritage trail.

Lower Seletar Reservoir Near Chencharu Central Residences

Lower Seletar Reservoir lies to the south of Yishun, and its park on the Yishun side of the water is the nearest stretch of waterfront to the site. It is a place for an evening walk, a jog along the water or a weekend ride, and HDB names it as one of the recreation spots the new cycling paths from Chencharu will connect to.

Yishun Stadium and the sports facilities around it are close by, about 480 metres from the site, so a run can take in both the track and the water.

The Neighbourhood Park Beside Chencharu Central Residences

Immediately east of the site, a neighbourhood park leads towards Yishun Avenue 2 and Khatib station. It forms the green link between Chencharu Central Residences and the station, and it is the eastern end of the community avenue that HDB’s masterplan runs through the new town.

The New Heritage Park West of Chencharu Central Residences

At the western end of the avenue, HDB plans a new park around a colonial-era bungalow at 50 Bah Soon Pah Road, once a plantation house, to be adapted for community use. The park is planned with playgrounds, fitness corners, open lawns, hard courts and a therapeutic garden, along with a heritage trail of gardens and storyboards that tell the story of the area’s farms and plantations.

Green Living at Chencharu Central Residences

Inside the development, the 11 residential blocks are set around a landscaped deck with a swimming pool and communal facilities, and the illustrative images imagine a long swimming pool framed by palms, sun loungers and a timber pavilion. The full facilities schedule will follow from the developer. Gamuda Land describes the project as designed for the BCA Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy rating, and the town’s north-south orientation of homes aims to keep them cooler and better ventilated. The Chencharu Central Residences amenities page describes the facilities, and the Chencharu Town guide the masterplan.
