The East Coast Park is a beach park located on the southeastern coast of Singapore. It was opened in the 1970s, when the government completed reclaiming land off the coast at Katong which extends from Changi to Tanjong Rhu. It also serves various key neighborhood communities such as Tanjong Rhu, Marine Parade,
The 185 hectare East Coast Park is the largest park in Singapore, and is built entirely on reclaimed land with a man-made beach, where swimming is possible. The beach is protected by breakwaters, with no other natural features. The park is easily accessible by East Coast Park Service Road with numerous exits along the East Coast Parkway. The place has ample parking space with many carparks near the park. SBS Bus 401 stops along the East Coast Service Road from Bedok MRT on the weekends. Underpasses link the park to the nearby Marine Parade housing estate.
The park is a popular place for families and friends to relax and enjoy themselves. The park has barbecue pits, chalets, food and beverage, and amenities for sports activities. A cycling and inline skating track runs along the perimeter of the park, which measures over 15 km long. It is connected to Changi Beach Park by the Coastal PCN, an 8km park connector running along Changi Coast Road, next to the airport runway.
Reviews:
- ∗∗∗∗∗ Although this park sits on reclaimed land, it is a wonderfully beautiful park which will leave you with many nostalgic memories. Nostalgic because it overlooks the vast port that has so many ships, with an expansive view of the sea. Rent a bicycle or Rollerblade the whole stretch of the park. When the skies are clear and it is not too hot, this is the best place to be in an afternoon for a picnic to hang out, or for a run in the morning. Don’t play in the water though, cause the water is rather silty, and one can imagine the stuff coming from the ships to the shore! Go during the weekdays when there is no one.
- ∗∗∗∗∗ Great place for pleasure, relaxed and refreshing….walk to the seaside watching the sea waves movement, cycling or just take a walk and looking around, feel the nature closer…
