Big Splash (Singapore) is a former waterpark at East Coast Park in Singapore, which has been redeveloped into a dining and recreation area, now also known as Playground at Big Splash. The waterpark was built in 1977 and featured an 85-metre long water slide, said at the time to be the longest and highest in the world. There was several other pools, as well as facilities such as an open-air theatre, a restaurant and food kiosks, and an arcade.[1]

Although Big Splash was initially very popular, over the decades it declined and became less attractive. In 2002, it was closed for a four-month facelift, reopening with new facilities such as a dive school and a bicycle kiosk.[2] In 2006 it closed for major redevelopment. When it reopened in March 2008, the water slides were gone and the entire compound had been redeveloped into a dining and lifestyle destination.[3] It is now home to a range of dining options, from fast food outlets and casual cafes to upmarket restaurants and bars, as well as an inline skating school, mini-golf course, gym and other amenities.
