This recreational haven was officially opened to the public in the 1970s, following extensive land reclamation efforts by the Singapore government. The reclaimed land off the coast at Katong, from Kallang to Changi, provided the perfect canvas for the creation of this sprawling park.

Though primarily catering to the needs of the local communities in the east, East Coast Park attracts visitors from all over Singapore, who come here for sports, recreation, and of course, delectable food. Spanning a vast 185 hectares (460 acres), this park stands as the largest in Singapore and is a testament to the country’s commitment to preserving its natural beauty.

What makes East Coast Park truly unique is the fact that it is built entirely on reclaimed land, making it a remarkable feat of engineering. With a man-made beach that allows for swimming, visitors can experience the joy of the ocean without having to leave the confines of the park.

So whether you’re looking to indulge in some outdoor activities, take a leisurely stroll amidst nature, or simply soak up the sun on the beach, East Coast Park is an idyllic destination that seamlessly combines the best of both worlds – a park and a natural oasis.
