The course
Course description
West Coast Park parkrun is an elongated figure of eight course around West Coast Park, a regional park opened in the southwest of Singapore in 1979.
The meeting/briefing point for the run is the Amphitheatre at the southern end of the Open Space, West Coast Park (on the other side of the children’s playground to Car Park 3 and McDonalds).
Starting on the main footpath 100m west of the Amphitheatre, parkrunners head south-eastwards, via the underpass at West Coast Ferry Road, to complete one loop of the south-eastern section of the park in a clockwise direction. On completion of the south-eastern loop, parkrunners head back in the direction of the start, eventually taking the right-hand fork in the footpath just before the children’s playground, running past McDonalds before completing one loop of the north-western section of the park around the Open Space in an anti-clockwise direction to finish beside the Amphitheatre.
The route is run entirely on concrete and tarmac footpaths and is relatively flat except for a small dip at the West Coast Ferry Road underpass.
On the course
The course is 5k long. West Coast Park, West Coast Highway, Singapore tarmac paths concrete paths. Some sections of the course may accumulate mud, leaves and puddles after rain. Dependent on availability, marshals will be at key sections of the course, or signs will be in place.
Please remember that the parkrun uses shared paths. For the continued success of the event, please give way to other park users. This won't hurt your time, it won't stop you from getting a PB and it will make sure everyone continues to enjoy the event.
Please, wherever possible walk, jog, cycle or use public transport when attending the event. If you do have to drive, please consider car-sharing to reduce our impact on both the environment and other park users. Please also watch out for other park users when arriving and leaving. Parking may be limited so try to arrive early.
Facilities
At the start/finish area there are toilets, open showers, shelters, bike stands, a children’s playgrounds and a McDonalds.
Due to the hot conditions in Singapore, all participants are asked to bring along their own water which can be refilled at the sinks in the toilet block.

Course safety
West Coast Park parkrun is a fun, free event organised by volunteers for the benefit of everyone. We wish to make the event as safe as possible, so participants, spectators and helpers are asked to take care about the following:
- Please be considerate to the park and other park users at all times.
- Children under the age of eleven must be accompanied (within arm's reach) throughout the event by a parent, guardian or appropriate adult of the parent's choice.
- Please arrive by foot, by pedal-power or by public transport if you can - your efforts help to reduce our impact on the park and the planet.
- We invite everyone to consider volunteering at parkrun. Your support helps your parkrun events remain sustainable and free for all in your community, and it’s also a wonderful way to improve your own health and happiness. Please visit the volunteer page for more information.
- Take care near roads and car parks – some vehicles drive very quickly. Please congregate away from the cars and be careful in particular if you have children. If you’re driving to the event, please drive carefully.
- Take care on uneven surfaces – whether on grass or on tarmac. Watch out for cyclists, other participants, pedestrians, children, dogs, wildlife, park animals, vehicles, park maintenance work, falling branches, bollards, posts and other obstacles around the course.
- Please ensure that you are fit enough to walk, jog, run 5k (3.1 miles) with us.
- If you see someone with a serious problem, please stop to help them out and get help as soon as possible.
- If you’re watching, keep clear of participants on the course, and look after any children and dogs you may have with you.
- It is not permitted to run with a pushchair and a dog at the same time.
- You are welcome to take part with one dog by your side, within reach at all times, on a short, handheld, non-extendable lead. The use of waist harnesses is prohibited. Please also see this Support Site entry for further details about parkrunning with dogs.
- parkrunners pushing buggies are welcome, but please take care of others around you and do your best to start at an appropriate place in the field for your pace.
We hope these tips help to ensure that West Coast Park parkrun is fun and safe for everyone.
