As the festive period comes to a close, you’re probably making plans to work off all that feasting and lead a healthier lifestyle (especially if that was your New Year’s resolution…).
Fret not, as you can now explore the newly opened Eastern Corridor.
This exciting route of park connectors spanning 18km between Pasir Ris Park and East Coast Park has finally been completed, after being first announced in 2021.
You’ll be able to travel along the corridor, which can be accessed 8 different points (either parks or connectivity points), so regardless of which part of the east you’re coming from, it’s pretty convenient to get to.
This means that residents and visitors can make their way directly from Pasir Ris Park, through Bedok Reservoir Park, all the way to East Coast Park.
Half of the Eastern Corridor is located along waterways, so park visitors can take their pick from a variety of nature-based recreational experiences, all with scenic views, of course.
For instance, the new 600m Bedok Park Connector (Eastern Park) will give you the chance to walk or cycle along Sungei Bedok on both banks.
There are several features along the route to look out for, such as the Sun Plaza Park Therapeutic Garden, which has a garden brook, shade-tolerant plants, and an activity area with a life-size beads maze, as well as the relaxing Foot Reflexogy area at Pasir Ris Town Park.
But that’s not all, as NParks will also be rolling out more wayfinding (mapboards and directional signages), new habitats, and enhanced landscaping — hello, aesthetics.
Cyclists have much to be excited about, as there will also be three new cycling bridges along the connecting Round Island Route at Changi Beach Park and East Coast Park.
Eastie or not, are you eager to spend time cycling, walking, or even spotting wildlife along the Eastern Corridor?
