A 24-year-old public park in the heart of Compassvale is set for a major facelift as part of a five-year masterplan for Sengkang launched by the Workers' Party-run town council.

The rejuvenation of Sengkang Sculpture Park, in Compassvale Street, is the centrepiece of a multi-year road map that the Sengkang Town Council (SKTC) announced on April 5.

Other amenities in the plan include a new rooftop butterfly garden in Anchorvale, an edible garden in Buangkok and a dog run in Rivervale.

In addition, 96 town improvement projects, which include new covered walkways, playgrounds and residents' corners, are being studied by SKTC, which aims to roll them out between the 2025 and 2029 financial years.

The launch of the new masterplan, which was held at Sengkang Sculpture Park, comes ahead of a general election that is widely expected to be called by the middle of the year.

Speaking to the media at the launch, the Sengkang GRC MPs Ms He Ting Ru, Mr Louis Chua and Associate Professor Jamus Lim were coy when asked about election plans.

Ms He, who chairs SKTC, said the focus of the April 5 event was on the five-year masterplan.

"As and when the election campaign kicks off later this year, you will hear from us, hear from the party as well," she added.

Asked about whether the trio would be part of the WP team contesting the four-member constituency, Mr Chua said in Mandarin: "No matter whether we, or another party, win Sengkang GRC, I believe Sengkang Town Council will continue to operate as normal."
