East Coast Park
Info
Location: Along East Coast Parkway
Size: 185 Ha, stretching over 15 km
Activities: Besides recreational activities, this once-barren reclaimed land offers a diversity of both flora and fauna
East Coast Park was opened in the 1970s, when the government completed reclaiming land off the coast at Katong which extends from Changi to Tanjong Rhu. The 1.85 square kilometre 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.
