The S$4.9 million project will see a range of amenities to be built, including a sports park for soccer, skateboarding and other outdoor activities. There will also be a community garden and a common area where residents can hold functions.
Other improvement works include covered linkways and drop-off porches.
The facilities will serve about 1,444 households from 14 housing blocks at Hougang Avenue 6.
The cost of the project will be borne by the government and grassroots leaders are getting feedback from residents from October 11 to 13.
A proposal will be ready for residents to vote on early 2010, and approval is required from at least three-quarters of them for it to go ahead.
The public consultation exercise was launched on Sunday by Minister for Foreign Affairs and MP for Aljunied GRC, George Yeo.
