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.
Famous quotes containing the words east, coast, park, service and/or road:
“An inexperienced heraldist resembles a medieval traveler who brings back from the East the faunal fantasies influenced by the domestic bestiary he possessed all along rather than by the results of direct zoological exploration.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“This coast crying out for tragedy like all beautiful places,”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“Is a park any better than a coal mine? What’s a mountain got that a slag pile hasn’t? What would you rather have in your garden—an almond tree or an oil well?”
—Jean Giraudoux (1882–1944)
“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[T]he temple through which alone lies the road to that of Liberty.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
