East Coast Park

East Coast Park

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 a popular place for families and friends to relax and enjoy themselves. The park has barbeque 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.

An attraction at East Coast Park is the Bedok Jetty. Bedok Jetty is the longest and most popular fishing jetty in Singapore located in Area F of East Coast Park. It is also frequented by cyclists, rollerbladers, joggers, park visitors and is a popular site for anglers. My family and I went to Bedok Jetty once and we were shocked to see how many different kinds of fish we managed to catch! It is a must to visit if you are a lover of fishing! Whenever people ask me where is a good place to fish, I would not hesitate and I would tell them about Bedok Jetty.

It reflects a unique Singapore spirit as it is a nice place to be, a nice place to hangout, to get out of the busy city life in Singapore and just to chill at the beach. Many Singaporeans are there and you can see them playing Singapore’s most famous sport, football.

I am grateful for East Coast Park as there are many attractions there and if you have no idea where to go to chill or hang out with your family and friends, you can always go to East Coast Park and it will never fail to satisfy you! So if you are bored and looking for a new place to hangout, you definitely should go to East Coast Park!
