Ng Hua Qin, 29th July 2004 Changi
Beach Park is divided into two areas:
1)
Changi Point Beach (Changi
Beach)
Location:
This beach stretches from Changi Village to SAF
Ferry Terminal. (See Map A) Review:
Trash load for this portion of Changi beach is low
probably to frequently cleaning by contractors
using bulldozer-type
machine.
Even so, a clean-up done by SAJC on the day of the
recce yields around 20 bags of trash. Trash picked
up by them was mainly cigarette butts, styrofoam
and bags. Site is easily accessible by Paku Road or
Nicoll Drive. Mangrove strandline requires more
recce during low tide to identify trash load since
this recce was conducted during
high-tide. Trash
collected can be placed neatly beside any of the
numerous rubbish bin along the jogging/cycling
track. Off-loading of students can be done at the
various carparks depending on the number of
buses. View

Changi Ferry Beach (Changi Beach
Extension)
Location:
This beach stretches from SAF Ferry Terminal to
Changi Ferry Terminal. (See Map B) Review:
Trash load for this beach is high. The stretch of
beach is very long and dirty. Analysis of the
strandline reveals glass bottles, plastics bags and
barrels. Trash
collected can be placed neatly beside any of the
numerous rubbish
bin
along the jogging/cycling track. Trash can be
brought to Bin
Centre
too. Site is
easily accessible by Nicoll Drive. Off-loading of
students can be done at the Carpark 6 or 7
depending on the work site. Since getting from one
end to the other will take some time. Carpark 6 is
significantly smaller and is almost always full
(due to free parking info from taxi driver taking a
snooze there). Carpark 7 is a lot bigger and can
allow more than 2 coaches at the same
time. Students
that required constant supervision (e.g. primary
schools) should be grouped together with older
participants due to the long stretch of the
beach. View
