After waiting for more than 2 years, Coney Island Park finally open to public! As with all newly opened facility, I expect some crowd so I choose to go early morning.
The park open from 7am to 7pm. What a beautiful sun rise when I arrived at West Entrance of the park.
I enter the park through West entrance.
This tiny island have 2 entrances. The West entrance is just next to Punggol Promenade Nature Walk while the East entrance is joined to Lorong Halus.
What can you do on this tiny island?
You may just enjoy the scenery, get into the forest. Scenery like this is something that consider uncommon in highly urbanized Singapore. They may look like pine trees but they are not. They are actually Casuarina trees also known as Rhu trees. This is probably how Tanjung Rhu got her name.
If you are a bird watcher, this bird hide will come in handy.
There are lots of signs of wildlife activities on the island.
This heart shape nest probably built by Baya weaver birds.
Nature photographer of all sorts (be it insects, landscape or birds) flocked to Coney Island this morning.
There are lots of cyclist too. Mountain bike is recommended due to the rough terrains.
Some just take out their phone and take wefie with their love bike. One pacik try his fishing luck here too.
You may simply just explore this tiny island on foot. Highly recommended as you will get higher chance to see wildlife on the island by walking.
Some take the opportunity to groom their dog there too.
Pulau Ubin, another rustic island just opposite Coney island. It looks so close! Be forewarned, there are lots of sand flies on the beach. If you intend to walk on the beach, I will suggest that you wear long pants and long sleeve shirt.
Or you may just sit on the concrete path and enjoy the scenery and sea breeze instead.
Oh! There are shuttle service to Coney island from Pasir Ris and Punggol MRT!
Another nature space for the resident around Punggol/Pasir Ris area. What are you waiting for? Go visit today! :)
