- Rajiv KShillong, India5 contributionsParadise IslandWow... What a place. Makes me wish I was a resident of Singapore . The serene scape, the silent passing of ships, the cycling tracks , the lovely Singaporeans and tourists sitting on the benches on a quiet Saturday afternoon. What a life.Visited September 2023Traveled as a coupleWritten September 29, 2023
- tinkle_24Northampton, United Kingdom1,781 contributionsSerenity by the seaPeaceful and tranquil with its long pier for fishing. There’s a lagoon for water sports and a slightly more expensive hawker centre. Pleasant walk along the coastline or have a bike ride. Go soon as the area is due for major construction work.Visited May 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten June 5, 2024

East Coast Park is probably one of the largest parks, if not the largest park in Singapore, covering an area of 185ha. It's divided into different areas (from area A to H).
It's during the March school holiday that we visited here on a weekday afternoon after our heavy dinning and decided to come by here for a walk. We came by the Area B of the park, near the Meyer Road Playground and the playground Once Upon A Time. This is not the more popular areas like opposite Parkway Parade, or the chalets and seafood restaurant area where more people would go.
It's not crowded at all when we arrived despite being school holidays though we did see a handful or people, jogging or cycling around. Although it's sunny then, the sea breezes were strong and was very windy. Very quiet and from here, we could catch a glimpse of the Marina South area.
We strolled along the canal that led us to the open sea. It was scenic and nice. We enjoyed the breezes while watching the ships passing by with aircrafts flying towards Changi Airport, a few people were spotted swimming, sun tanning and even fishing.
There's bbq pits, fitness center, road safety park, playgrounds (as mentioned earlier) and bicycle rental booth nearby. However, there's no shop/booth selling drinks or snacks although there were vending machines outside the washroom. But there's many parking lots here!
Overall, it's a nice place to be, near to our mother nature!

Singapore is a place we visited many times over the years, but we never appreciated its diversity. On this latest occasion we stayed in the east side of the city and had easy access to this lovely area.
The beach isn’t the best, nor the coastline, the prettiest as it is lined with tankers, but at least it’s there.
You can walk for several miles into the city through the park along the walkway for bikes and people. It is beautiful kept and has a lot of variance and things to offer.

this is a feather in the cap of Singapore. built on reclaimed land, nothing feels artificial. it extends for almost 15 kms and is connected by connectors to the gardens by the bay and several other localities. that allows a seamless cycling or walking track. also there are plenty of restaurants and options for camping, barbecues, rentals for cycles etc, and sports activities like wake boarding

We rented the Anywheel bikes at Mist Walk outside Marina Bay Sands as there were many bicycles there. We cycled along the Marina Bay Bicycle Path around the Gardens by the Bay to Marina Barrage. Crossing the Marina Bridge, it was a very scenic ride along Garden By the Bay (East) Park Connector both in terms of the view and the numerous flowering plants along the PC. We continued to East Coast Bicycle Path passing the Keppel Marina East Desalination Plant. We could use the rest rooms here but the water cooler is not available. It was an enjoyable and safe ride as the cycling path has been widen to include two way paths unlike long ago where cyclists going in both directions shared the same path. We returned our bicycles at D1 carpark.

This place is not popular among tourists rather you will find more locals here. The long sandy beach is good for evening stroll. The windy beach allows you to relax and makes you comfortable. You will find number of barbeques along the coastline which can be used by paying nominal charges to the government and barbeque your own food. Local people come here for their fitness but you seldomly find them walking, they all run, that's amazing.

I like this place a lot. It was a really good place to enjoy a holiday or free time alone or with friends and family. The beach was clean with blue sky. I came all the way down from Burgis to East coast park for sunset but instead of seeing sunset, I saw the light from heaven and it was gorgeous. Many people were there for outdoor activities such as going picnic, playing soccer, going fishing, etc. It was so close to the airport so that I could see airplanes flying around and sometimes I could see the logo of the airlines really clear. It was interesting. Although it was close to the airport, we couldn't hear any sound from the airplane. Outside, we could see many huge ships which carrying goods but there was no trace of oil on water and that was amazing. If you are in SG, you should visit East coast park

ECP is a very well maintained park close to Changi airport. I stayed at walking distance from ECP during my stay in Singapore, which meant we could come here during different times of the day. It's best experienced on weekend evenings when the place comes alive with people just enjoying & unwinding

Recommend to come on weekdays as it is more peaceful. Close your eyes, listen to the waves and enjoy the sea breeze. Take a nap on the bench . Have a lazy afternoon.
Weekend is much more crowded with families having picnics and BBQ. Lots of cyclist and joggers enjoying a good work out.
there are several seafood restaurants that are pretty good over here but usually i would head to the food center to grab some Satay and sugar cane juice

Looking for a beach holiday for the kids. Is this a good place for the kids to do some swimming? Is the water clean, warm and are there waves to play in? Trying to avoid Sentosa!
Written January 5, 2019
Apparently it’s safe to swim however haven’t seen many swimmers. Could be because the water may not be all that clean. There are multiple other water sport activities for kids and adults.

I read East coast park is wheel chair friendly. I want to know if the wheelchairs are chargeable. Also wherefrom within the park area can i access wheelchairs for my senior citizen parents? Thanks!
Written September 3, 2018
It’s wheelchair friendly place meaning that there are no steps to hinder the maneuvering of the wheel chair. But there’s no wheelchair for public use there. So you will have to bring your own.

Hello!
I plan to visit Singapore for 2 weeks with 2 children. Beach vacation near the East Coast Park. Can we freely there sunbathing and swim? What are the limitations?
Written September 19, 2016
Yes, people do get in the water. The majority of people go to do onshore activities. Ride bikes you rent, walk, see sun rise over the water and enjoy meal at restaurant or on the grass. We never really saw anyone sunbathing. That was done at Sentosa. Make sure you get your free MRT card with your passport to use the public Mass Rail Transit system. You add money to this card to use the bus, river taxi and underground train. Singapore's public system is great. Everyone uses it.

Hello guys,Im ankit and Im gonna be travelling to Singapore on 29th of September and will stay there for one day,30th sept and the hotel that I've booked is the Venue hotel,which I think aint that far from Eeast Coast Park.
Please if anyone could tell me is 600 USD enough for a day in Singapore, Im planing to convert only 200 USD though.
And How much could be the cab charge from airport to my hotel which is like 13 kms from the airport.
And also My flight back to India is in the morning 7 Am on 1st October so is it easy to get a cab at night because I will leave for the airport at 3 or 4AM.
And yes does the East Coast Park a free public park or is there a fee to enter it.?
Thanks in Advance
Regards

Morning : Breakfast in Chinatown hawker center. Visit the Buddha Relic temple (7 mins walk).
Then head to civic district via Singapore River. It's about 20 mins walk. You will see the old part of Singapore.
Noon : Get some lunch at Rochor Hawker Center. Plenty of affordable local food there. Go before 12 noon to avoid the lunch time crowd.
Afternoon : It will be very warm and humid then. Go to Mustafa Shopping, the only 24 hrs store in SG that sells everything except pork & alcohol. Loved finding little surprises there.
