Explore Singapore: Accela’s Guide To Marine Parade
Did you know the neighbourhood of Marine Parade is home to the first housing estate built on reclaimed land in Singapore? In the early 1960s, the government decided to reclaim the area for its housing development program and completed its first block of flats in the 1970s. Today, Marine Parade is home to approximately 46,390 residents and has plenty of amenities such as basketball and badminton courts and a three-story community building that houses both a community center (CC) and public library. There are also many food and beverage outlets that can be found alongside shopping malls for both shopping and entertainment needs.
The Marine Parade neighbourhood is also famed for its park and beach, known as East Coast Park, where some of us at Accela frequent for exercise or dog-walking. Check out our latest Explore Singapore guide with some of our favourites in this Southeastern part of the island.
