Family-friendly Marine Cove at East Coast Park to reopen in end-June

Families with little ones now have one more kid-friendly place to visit: Marine Cove at East Coast Park. The revamped area, which has been closed since 2012 to undergo redevelopment, features a myriad of dining options and a 3,500sqm children’s playground for young ones to run wild.

In the playground sits a three-storey play tower, which comes with three slides and a rope bridge, for kids between five and 12. As for those below five, there’s a play area outfitted with talking tubes, fun mirrors and a drum set. Special needs equipment like sensory play panels are also part of the facilities, to allow children of different abilities to play with one another.
