Visitors to East Coast Park can now explore a new wellness space with fitness and play areas, as well as the park’s first therapeutic garden. The National Parks Board (NParks) and professional services firm KPMG in Singapore launched the 1.1ha KPMG Wellness Garden which includes a therapeutic garden, play garden, nature fitness area and pond trail that will appeal to the young and old alike.
The KPMG Wellness Garden at Area D of East Coast Park encompasses a therapeutic garden, nature playgarden, nature fitness area, and a pond trail, adopting a coastal theme across its four zones. Each zone within the garden has been planned to cater to different user groups, ensuring inclusiveness and accessibility for all.
Environmental sustainability is a key component of the design of the Wellness Garden. The re-use of existing materials such as rocks and upcycled logs from East Coast Park can be spotted throughout the garden. The rocks have been incorporated into the mounds in the Wellness Garden or re-purposed as stepping-stones.
