East Coast Park

Hello there! I've been staying in Singapore for more than 3 months already! 3 months and 2 days to be exact. hehe. So far, I've been doing a lot of mini traveling and I can't help but to fall in love with this country more and more. I spent last sunday with my brother hanging out in the East Coast Park and it was lovely! We rented 2 bicycles and my brother taught me how to ride a bike. (yes, I don't know how to huhu) After 2 grueling hours, I got the hang of balancing myself but I still couldn't pedal. We eventually found out that the bike I got was broken. :( Anyway, a reason for me to go back yes? I have yet to cross out "learn to bike" on my bucket list! Going back to the point, I just want to share the different activities you can do in the East Coast Park because that place is just heavenly. I mean, a park AND a beach, side by side. Honestly, what more can you ask for?

East Coast Park is along the East Coast Parkway and East Coast Park Service Road. Quite far from the city, but it is very accessible through various means of transportations, especially the bus! Whether you're alone or with your family, you can engage in different activities such as camping, biking, fishing. The park is ideal for friends and loveydovies alike! Here's a short list of activities you can do, according to what I got to see last Sunday.

• Exercise - There are fitness stations where you can actually work out. Lots of people both young and old are also jogging along the running trails. The trees are perfect for giving you some shade while running too.
• Biking/ Roller Skating - This is one of the activities that I'm definitely going back for. There are bike and roller skates rentals and they charge on hourly basis. It is really affordable and very very fun! It is a very convenient way to move yourself from one place to another too since the park is HUGE.
• Taking pictures- If I couldn't emphasize it enough, the park is such a beautiful place! With the trees and the lovely view of the sea, the park is such an ideal place to practice photography or at least a pretty place to capture the moments you have with your loved ones.
• Camping - As you can see on the picture above, some parts of the park have been filled with tents. I'm not sure if they're being rented or the people actually brought their own tents, but as far as I know, you can go camping! People also brought some food & drinks and spent their lazy afternoons in the park.
• BBQ Partyyyy!!! - okay, maybe a party is too grand..BUT there are a lot of BBQ stations where you can..well, barbecue your food! 
• Have a picnic - bring a mat, a good book and perhaps some food and you'll have a lovely lovely time at the park. The trees give you some shade, while you sit back and relax.
• Play Frisbee, Soccer, Volleyball ++ - lots of open spaces in the park where you can have fun sporty activities
• Enjoy the Beach - okay, there are endless possibilities here. I've seen kids who made sandcastles, people who went to fish along the coast too! Some people went for a swim and oh! Inside the East Coast Park, there lies Singapore's first cable ski and it seemed really fun & daring for those who are up for it.

I've seen people fly their kites and have their tai chi lessons too! Hopefully, you get the point! The East Coast Park is definitely a place you should visit! Have a great day, everyone :)
