East Coast Park

Date: Friday, 21 March 2008.
Location: East Coast Park, Singapore.

On a Good Friday evening, I took Inka and Irza to East Coast Park for another cycling trip. East Coast Park has always been our favourite place for cycling activities in Singapore.

Instead of renting the bicycles at the usual place in Marine Cove, we rented the bicycles at another kiosk in Raintree Cove, further east from Marine Cove, near a Burger King outlet there. The bicycles are of better quality, with the same price and the same promotion (rent 1 hour and get another hour free).

Similar to Tante Ira and her abang, we cycled for more than 1.5 hours there, after which, the kids were still begging for more (!!!) before I forced them to return the bicycles to the kiosk. We covered the longest route we have achieved at East Coast Park so far, from the kiosk at Raintree Cove going west past Marine Cove and the new Playground @ Big Splash up until the end of the cycling path (near Fort Road) and back, and then passing Raintree Cove further east, past the Siglap canal, circling the Island Resort and then back to the kiosk.
