History of Coney Island Park
The island was originally known as Pulau Serangoon. In the 1950s it was owned by the Aw brothers (Haw Par Villa founders) who proposed developing it as a resort, hence the name Coney Island after the New York amusement area. The plan was not realized. The island was later acquired by the Singapore government and developed by the National Parks Board, opening to the public on 10 October 2015 as Coney Island Park with an emphasis on conservation and rustic character.
