East Coast Park guide
Every Singaporean has been to East Coast Park (ECP) at least once, be it for a BBQ night out, family outing or a casual date with your S/O. Frolicking or jogging by the beach are some of the common reasons people head down these days, but the 15km-long park stretching from Changi all the way to Marina Bay area has much more to offer for a whole day out.

Some facilities you’ll be able to find here include free shower facilities, 2 camping areas you’ll be able to apply for F.O.C, and 74 barbecue pits available for booking from $12.
Read on for our full list of activities.

ECP is undeniably massive, which means there’s lots of space for your doggo to run around and burn off all that extra energy. If you’re looking to hang out with fellow dog owners, there’s Parkland Green Dog Run, one of the larger dog runs in the East.
Don’t worry, hooman, there are plenty of “people” activities at Parkland Green too, such as picking up a new sport like inline skating at Ernsports. The shop sells all you need to get started, from skates to helmets and padding. They also provide skating lessons for complete newbies, with a 45-minute long trial class for $49/pax.

One might think that beach clubs in Singapore can only be found in places like Sentosa, but surprise, there’s one at East Coast: Aloha Beach Bar & Cafe. It’s got all the makings of a prime beach club too, such as picnic tables facing the sea, finger food, and alcoholic drinks.

The best part: there’s no minimum spending required to chope one of their coveted spots near the water. Just stroll in and be prepared to chill.
3. Xtreme Skatepark
Perfect place near East Coast Park to practice skateboarding & skating tricks
If you’ve got wheels, bring ‘em to ECP. The Xtreme Skatepark is where you’ll want to head to, to build up your skills as a skateboarder, trick cyclist, or roller skater. It’s ok if you’re a novice skater – there’s a beginner’s street course with gentle slopes and mini ramps for you to practice new tricks.
For the pros, keep your eyes out for the iconic 3.6m deep vertical bowl and over-vert. It has a 90-degree drop that adrenaline junkies are sure to enjoy. If you’re looking to practice in peace, you might wanna drop by in the late evening to avoid the crowds.
P.S. Check out these other skateparks in Singapore that are located all around the island.
4. Changi Jurassic Mile
Interact with more than 20 dinosaurs

You don’t have to travel all the way to Universal Studios Singapore to catch a glimpse of life-sized dinos. At Changi Jurassic Mile, you’ll get to see over 20 dinosaur statues along a 1km stretch; either chilling by the pavement, wreaking havoc, or cooling off at a nearby pond.

The instalment is so realistic, there’s even a T-Rex trying to bust its way out of a metal fence. Play some Jurassic Park theme songs, and you’re sure to feel like you’re in John Alfred Hammond’s prehistoric theme park.
5. Cycling tracks
Cover up to 42km on 2 wheels

Cycling is a breeze at ECP, thanks to the dedicated cycling lanes that span from one end of the park to the other.

No worries if the only bikes you’re familiar with are the ones at spin class. There are bicycle rental shops all around ECP; including Bike Stop, Our Family Corner, and Go Cycling. Prices for adult bikes start at $10/hour, while tandem bikes and 4-seater quad bikes cost $20/hour and $40/hour respectively.
If cycling around ECP is an easy feat and you’re ready to cover more ground, give the Eastern Coastal Park Connector Network a try. It’s an arduous 42km trail that leads to 7 other park connectors linking to Bedok Reservoir Park, Pasir Ris Park, and Changi Beach Park. There’s also the new Eastern Corridor for some fresh sights.
6. Marine Cove playground, Coastal Playgrove, & Raintree Cove Swings
Outdoor playgrounds & toddler-friendly swings at East Coast Park
Have your young’uns unleash their inner monkey while getting a good dose of Vitamin D at the spacious Marine Cove outdoor playground; complete metal slides, netted bridges and rope ladders.
Right next to it, there’s even a toddler-safe sensory play area with bendy mirrors to have a good laugh at your twisty and swirly reflections.

Alternatively, swing by Raintree Cove for their vibrant pink toddler-friendly swings that are wide and netted for extra safety.
If that’s still not enough to tame your child, add the Coastal Playgrove to your list of things to do with kids. Looming at 16m tall, it’s the tallest outdoor playground in Singapore, with giant slides, vertical climbing nets, and even a water play area for a break from the heat.
Little ones won’t have to worry about missing out as there’s a low-lying leisure net playing area, plus sandpits and nature play gardens for them to roam around.

Instead of surfing the net all weekend long, pick up wakeboarding at the Singapore Wake Park at the East Coast lagoon. Wakeboarding combines skateboarding and surfing, so it’s perfect for thrill-seekers looking for a new watersport to add to their belt.

Learn stand up paddling & windsurfing
Take things up a notch at PAssion WaVe @ East Coast, located just a 5-minute-walk from carpark F3. Stand-up paddling and windsurfing equipment are available for rental at affordable rates if you’re experienced in either sport.

9. Camping & glamping
Spend some time in nature
Among all the camping spots in Singapore, East Coast Park is the best for catching the sunrise. The park has 2 camping spots – in areas D and G – where you can pitch your tent to spend a night. Combine it with a BBQ sesh with your pals to complete the camping experience.
You might also find that it takes you completely off-grid, which is a refreshing experience for those who’d like a break from urban life. But before you get all excited and start packing, you’ll have to apply for a permit on the AXS website first. You can also apply through the SingPass app (App Store | Google Play).
You can also apply to book a BBQ pit on AXS. Rates start from $12-$20, depending on the location.
That doesn’t mean those not too keen on being subject to the discomfort of sleeping in the great outdoors – read: mozzies, no light, and tight space – have to miss out.
Upgrade your camping experience to glamping, which trades the ruggard for rugs. Glamping Society has giant tents that fit up to 6, are inbuilt with ventilation windows and fans. It also comes with double air mattresses and flamingo floats as seats.
Public toilets are scattered around the park so there’s no need to worry about answering nature’s calls, or getting a shower.
10. Bedok Jetty
Good spot to catch the sunrise or sunset

Stretching out into the sea, Bedok Jetty is a wonderful spot to take a breather. Jog or cycle along its length, or bring along your fishing rods for a therapeutic fishing session with your fishing kakis. What’s more, it’s one of the few fishing spots in Singapore!

The place is also a great spot to catch sunrise and sunsets. The best time would be to visit is before dawn, so you can catch sight of the sun breaking through the horizon.
How to get to East Coast Park
The easiest way to get to ECP is by driving and parking at one of their 10 car parks lined along the park.
The most popular car park appears to be car park B1, located opposite The MeyeRise condo. It’s known as a convenient starting point for runners for its toilet facilities and complimentary parking.
For those taking public transport, Bedok MRT is the nearest station to the park. From there, Buses 31, 137, 155 or 196 will take you to the middle of the park, where attractions like East Coast Lagoon Food Village and Singapore Wake Park lie.
Alternatively, you can take the MRT and alight at Marine Parade on the Thomson-East Coast Line. East Coast Park is a 7-minute walk from there, and you’ll reach it after crossing the underpass.
