NTUC Downtown East

Downtown East is a one-stop leisure, lifestyle and dining destination; and also a choice venue for Singaporeans and NTUC members to enjoy a wide array of entertainment options at affordable prices.

From a humble beginning as NTUC Pasir Ris Resort, it was redeveloped in 2000 to become Downtown East, one of the largest lifestyle and recreational hubs in Singapore. Its laid-back ambience, complete with resort facilities and a water park, makes for a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Downtown East is also a popular choice for union and corporate events with various entertainment entities available at the same destination, including a broad variety of dining and retail options.

Today, Downtown East is home to D’Resort, Wild Wild Wet, Market Square and MUCE.

Lifestyle

Market Square

Market Square is a dining and lifestyle haven in the heart of the refreshed Downtown East, boasting a multitude of delectable eateries and retail spaces in both E!Hub and E!Avenue.

The entertainment and leisure centre E!Hub opened in 2008 and added a cinema, Orchid Bowl, and lots more to the colourful landscape. With E!Avenue, the vast stretch of dining and retail outlets also being unveiled in phases from late 2016, Market Square @ Downtown East will cater a wide variety of dining and lifestyle options to all.

Wild Wild Wet

Opened in 2004, Wild Wild Wet is one of Singapore’s largest water parks and has been hailed as one of the top 10 water parks in Asia. From adrenalin-pumping rides to relaxing ones, visitors can enjoy a fun-filled day while they beat the heat.

Having been expanded in 2016, Wild Wild Wet is now bigger and better. Boasting thrilling high speed water rides to kid-friendly ones, it promises the perfect adventure for guests of all ages. In addition to its original nine slides and rides, guests can enjoy seven new attractions including the Royal Flush, Asia’s first hybrid ride, and the Kraken Racers, Singapore’s first four-lane mat racer slide. If that is a level too mild, dare yourself to go on the Torpedo or Free Fall for a mind-blowing experience. There are also rides for little ones over at the Kidz Zone, ensuring that at its heart, Wild Wild Wet remains a family experience.

Amidst the fun, guests’ safety remains at top priority. Various inflatable floats customised for different rides ensure adventures come with safety in mind. Life jackets are available for adults and children to use in park for free, and baby water carriers and puddle jumpers are also available to allow parents to have a splashing good time with their infants. Lifeguards are specially trained in stringent international standards for lifeguarding at water-based attractions.

Rides are not all the water park offers. Ever heard of a wedding happening in a water theme park? That can be arranged for along with company retreats, family days and celebratory events like birthdays and anniversaries for a splashing good time.

MUCE

MUCE, which stands for Membership and Union Community Engagement, consists spaces and rooms of varying seating capacities spread across Downtown East for companies and clients to hold corporate events, conventions, concerts, team-building activities, family day events and other celebratory occasions.

Among other venues, Begonia Pavilion, D’Marquee and Vanda Room at D’Resort have played host to many small-scale to large-scale events, with attractive packages and unbeatable rates for members.

D'Resort

D’Resort @ Downtown East is a nature-inspired resort nestled in the lush greenery of Pasir Ris Park. Opened on 1 July 2015, the 387-room D’Resort has since provided guests a quiet yet contemporary staycation away from hectic city life.

NTUC Club’s first resort in Pasir Ris was opened in 1988 and over the years, our entertainment and resort offerings have been consistently refreshed to better cater to members and guests. Costa Sands Resort (Downtown East) which subsequently opened was a popular choice among holidaymakers who demanded quality and comfort during their getaways. After 25 successful years, the popular and well-remembered chalet destination was transformed and rebranded as D’Resort to better cater to changing needs of guests and members.

Presently, D’Resort offers a total of 9 room types which cater to different needs and demographics. There are rooms for every budget and occasion, comprising chalet units and suites, of which many offer unique park, mangrove and beach views. It is situated beside Wild Wild Wet, a well-loved water park visited by both locals and travellers alike. Coupled with an array of retail, dining and entertainment facilities in Downtown East, D’Resort is the go-to destination for corporate and family gatherings.
