This 32-hectare linear garden embroiders a stretch of the Marina Channel Promenade, providing landscaped access to a strategic portion of Singapores waterfront. It serves as the link between Bay South and Bay Central. It will form an uninterrupted sweep of garden space around the waterfront, linking up with East Coast Park, which extends along much of Singapore's south-eastern shoreline. Development of Bay East will be themed for aquatic sports and waterfront recreation such as canoeing, non-motorised sports such as sculling and dragon boat races.
In support of the Youth Olympic Games 2010 (YOG), the garden has been developed as an interim park and will be open to the public after Feb 2011.
