Pasir Ris Park (Chinese: 白沙公园; Malay: Taman Pasir Ris) is a beach park located in the eastern part of Singapore. It covers an area of 70 hectares (170 acres), and was partially built on reclaimed land. Initially planned in the late 1970s to serve people living in the vicinity, the park was designed with the help of two Japanese landscape specialists. Construction began on the park in September 1984, and the park was opened in phases from August 1986 to 1991. The park was further expanded in 2007, with the addition of new areas such as a herb garden.

The park contains campsites, cycling paths, various gardens and barbeque pits. In addition, the park also has a 5.0 hectares (12 acres) mangrove area with a boardwalk.
