Fun for the whole family in the West of Singapore. 

West Coast Park runs parallel to west coast highway. It boasts jogging and cycling trails, bird watching, fitness equipment, a dog run, barbecue pits and overnight camping. Open fields are popular for kite flying and pick-up soccer matches. While keeping children of all ages busy on some of the best play equipment in Singapore, you may just want to go for a short run.

It’s a children favourite playground in the west. While your kids have fun under the sun, you can head out for a short run. West Coast Park is generally suitable for leisure runners not looking for more than 8km run. Starting at MacDonald’s, 3 available toilets throughout the 6km loop.

West Coast Park has held events such as “Run For Your Lives Singapore 2014” and recently “West Coast Mazda Run 2015”.
