Eastern Coastal
Park Connector Network
ECPCN (ECPCN) Cycling Trail

Come live it up in the east by embarking on this

42-km long ECPCN cycling trail.

Comprising seven park connectors, the ECPCN links

up popular beach parks at East Coast, Changi Beach
and Pasir Ris - hotspots for cyclists, rollerbladers
and water sports enthusiasts. Running and cycling
routes on this park connector network are also
popular choices for several big-scale sports events,
including the annual Sundown Marathon.

This well-shaded cycling route offers you an

abundance of scenic views, especially along the
coastline. The route also gives you easy access to car
parking facilities, toilets, and eateries.

Use your own sports bike for this expedition.

Alternatively, rent a bike from one of the seven PCN
Pitstops, and drop off the bike at any of the other
Pitstops located along ECPCN without having to
back track.

If you plan to take public transport, consider starting

your expedition at Telok Kurau Park, Sun Plaza Park
or Pasir Ris Town Park (given their proximity to MRT
stations and PCN Pitstops). If you drive, there are
ample parking lots available at the public parks.

Distance : 42km
