Pandan Reservoir
A Place for Exercise and Leisure

Pandan Reservoir is located in the west region of Singapore. Flanking the reservoir on one side is the town of Teban Gardens and Pandan Gardens along West Coast Road, while the industrial area flanks the other two sides by Penjuru Road and Jalan Buroh.

The reservoir was formed by damming the mouth of Sungei Pandan. The dyke covers a distance of about 6.25 km.
It took me about 1 hour and 10 minutes to jog a round of the reservoir about 45 minutes to run a complete round.

At the north-eastern end of the reservoir (the green spot in the picture) is the Fitness Corner.

It was reported that Pandan Reservoir may be opened to the public for water sports. Two mini islands will be created, where kayakers and rowing enthusiasts can disembark for a panoramic view of the reservoir. It will be located at the junction of West Coast Road and Penjuru Road.

There are people jogging and running on the dyke all day long, especially in the evening. It will be more people on Saturday and Sunday.

The reservoir is an ideal place for an evening walk and for enjoying the gentle breeze. It is also a nice night scene spot for photographers.
