East Coast Park - "Recreation For All"
The great thing about Singaporeans is that they don't do anything halfway - even when it comes to rest and recreation.
The East Coast Park is a recreational oasis which bears ample testament to the city-state's exuberance and ingenuity and reverence for their environment.
What was once a barren wasteland encroached upon by sea has now been converted into the largest park and most popular park in the nation, in true Singaporean fashion.
Spanning 185 hectares at the southeast end of the island, the park lives up to its slogan of "Recreation for All" with a host of attractions eclectic enough to draw all kinds of holiday-makers; from picnickers soaking in the sea breezes, to hikers, bikers, fitness freaks of all colors, water-sport enthusiasts, foodies, bird-watchers and eco-tourists.
The last is due to the fact that the Singaporean architects left large tracts of reclaimed land deliberately untended, so that wild flora and fauna grew out on its own in and around the park environs, attracting migratory birds of all shapes and sizes.
It is a telling illustration of the park's sheer size and variety that the same grounds which boast patches of natural forest is also home to delicately-manicured golf ranges, holiday chalets, camp sites and bowling alleys.
Those who simply wish to laze around have ample space to soak up the sun, stroll and picnic in the 15 kilometers of surf and the spas which are peppered over the area.
The high-energy crowd will benefit from the jogging trails, tennis courts, cycle tracks and the more cutting-edge attractions such as Xtreme Skatepark, Big Splash@ East Coast Parkway, Bedok Jetty and the Cable Ski Park.
The Park is also a foodie's delight.
Its Seafood Center draws the local families almost every weekend addicted to their exotic barbeques and satays flavored with the sunset and starlit vista of the coastal horizons.
It goes without saying that the best way to optimize your holiday is by choosing the right place to stay at the right price.
