Pasir Ris Park

Pasir Ris Park (Chinese: 白沙公园) is a beach park located in the north-eastern part of Singapore. It stands at 71 hectares of land, including 6 hectares of preserved mangrove forests and some reclaimed land. This coastal park is among one of the largest in Singapore.

The full length of the park is around 6.6 kilometres. Currently, there are minor waterworks construction going on in the park near Downtown East, which could possibly see a significant change in the layout of the park.
