Marine Parade MRT station opening makes visiting Parkway Parade easier than ever
How many times have you heard your Eastie friends boast, “East side, best side”?
Agree or not, they might be onto something – from lazy beach days at East Coast Park to exploring the vibrant streets of Katong to indulging in retail therapy at the various malls and shophouses, there is something undeniably special about that corner of Singapore.
And soon, getting there will be a breeze.
Come 23 June, the Thomson-East Coast Line Stage 4 (TEL4) will officially launch, with seven new stations making it easier than ever to explore the East Coast area.
To celebrate the grand opening of the Marine Parade MRT station right at its doorstep, Parkway Parade is rolling out loads of exciting deals. Keep reading for all the juicy deets.
Experience the new TEL4 stations for free
For those itching to visit the TEL4 stations, we’ve got fabulous news: the Land Transport Authority (LTA) is holding a Public Preview on 21 June, where commuters can enjoy free rides along the seven TEL4 stations from 12pm to 9pm.
This is the perfect opportunity to drop by Marine Parade MRT Station.

Once you exit the station, you’re just steps away from Parkway Parade, which will be all ready to give visitors a warm welcome with a flurry of attractive deals and activities.
For starters, get ready for a sugar rush with hourly treats like popcorn, cotton candy, and ice cream handed out at various spots throughout the mall on 21, 23, 28, 29, and 30 June from 12pm to 8pm.
And the best part? They’re all free of charge, with no minimum spending required.
On those same dates, be sure to spot a bubbly emcee roving around Parkway Parade handing out little surprise freebies on the spot. Hint: they’ll be useful for keeping you cool in this hot weather.
There’s even more in store for you if you’re a Lendlease Plus Member. Simply make a minimum nett spend of S$50 in a single same-day receipt from 21 to 30 June and you can redeem 25,000 Plus$ – that’s the equivalent of S$12.50 back in your pocket.
Just remember, this deal is limited to the first 300 redemptions daily and one per member per day, with double spending required at FairPrice Xtra and CS Fresh.
Exclusive deals await you at Parkway Parade
Don’t worry if you miss the free rides because the excitement doesn’t end there.
Many of Parkway Parade’s tenants will also be getting in on the action with lots of exclusive deals from 21 to 30 June.

It’ll be available for just S$62, down from its usual price of S$149. Talk about a steal.
Foodies certainly aren’t forgotten – Hokkaido Baked Cheese Tart is giving out free baby cheese tarts to the first 100 shoppers daily. Don’t say we bo jio.
It’ll also throw in a free cheese tart with each purchase of two cheese tarts. Share them with a couple of friends or have ‘em all to yourself – we won’t judge.
