Pasir Ris Park suits families because there is something for every age. NParks' park guide highlights a 6-hectare mangrove forest, a large adventure playground and beachfront dining.
Suggested plan
9am: Start at the mangrove boardwalk. NParks says you can spot mud crabs, mudskippers and water monitors from the boardwalk, and birds such as Grey Herons and kingfishers from the three-storey bird-watching tower.
10.30am: Head to the Adventure Playground, which NParks says has giant space-nets, huge sand pits and cableways. Bring spare clothes, as the sand pits get messy.
12pm: Lunch by the beach. NParks lists beachfront dining and restaurants near Carparks C, D and E.
2pm: Take a slow walk on the beach, or cycle if you have bikes. Remember to follow wildlife rules and avoid touching marine life.
Optional: barbecue or camp
NParks says there are 65 barbecue pits along the shoreline. A barbecue pit permit is required and can be applied for at www.axs.com.sg or at an AXS machine. A camping permit is also required for the designated campsites in Area 1 or 3.
Tips
- Bring insect repellent for the boardwalk.
- The park gets busy on weekends and school holidays, so go early.
- Check conditions before entering the water, as NParks and SLA have raised box jellyfish advisories for Singapore's waters.
