East Coast Park Service Road (Chinese: 东海岸公园副路; Malay: Jalan Perkhidmatan Taman Pantai Timur) is a road in Singapore that runs along the northern perimeter of the East Coast Park and parallel to the East Coast Parkway. It provides access from Marine Parade, Fort Road and East Coast Parkway to the park.
Some cyclists use the road as a less crowded alternative to the 11 km cycling track at the East Coast Park.

A roof for when the slow, dark hours begin,”
