Developed in partnership with NParks, the KPMG Wellness Garden at East Coast Park serves as an inclusive space for people of all generations to enjoy and experience the natural coastal environment while enhancing their health and well-being, all in one location.
Environmental sustainability is a key component of its design. The reuse 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.
Native plant species, including the Sea Lettuce and Silver Bush, were also planted to support restoration of the coastal habitat at the site.
Located in Area D5, the garden has 4 zones, each having a different coastal theme. All 4 zones are specially designed to ensure inclusiveness and accessibility for different age groups.
Refer to the following to find out more about each of these zones:
The tranquil 1,100sqm therapeutic garden features a rustic coastal theme with contemplative landscapes that park users can immerse themselves in.
