The works narrowed the channel between Punggol and the island to 100m.[4] Still, in spite of this small distance, motor launches had to be specially hired to reach the island until the opening of Coney Island Park, linked to the main island by two bridges on its western and eastern ends. EtymologyIn an 1825 survey of the coastal areas around Singapore by Crawfurd, Forrester, Lt. Jackson and Dr Johnson, Rabbit and Coney (European rabbit) islets were mentioned. An anonymous writer who wrote the Singapore Chronicle article noted on the sighting of the two islets, namely Rabbit and Coney that: "the whimsical application to these two islets suggests some observations upon the fantastic names which have been given to places in this part of the world; not only by European navigators but by the natives of the country themselves. There is scarcely any sense or meaning in the best of them. Pray, what is the difference between a rabbit and the coney?" HistoryFormerly known as Pulau Serangoon (English: Serangoon Island), the island was once owned by entrepreneur siblings Haw Boon Aw and Aw Boon Par, before being sold to an Indian businessman, Ghulam Mahmood, in 1950 with the intention of turning the island into a resort modelled after the amusement park at Coney Island, New York.[5] The land reclamation works begun in 1975, increasing the area of the island from {{convert|32|hectare|km2}} to {{convert|62|hectare|km2}}.[6] Further land reclamation works were carried out during the 1990s with plans to build a 50-hectare park together with the development of Punggol New Town.[4] The Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) said that under the Master Plan, a part of Coney Island was zoned for residential, sport and recreational use but as the land is not immediately required for development, a part of Coney Island would be kept as an interim park for the time being. The rest of the island was zoned for park use.[7] On 11 October 2015, Coney Island Park opened to the public, with a beach stretching {{convert|2|km|0|abbr=on}} and a {{convert|2.4|km|0|abbr=on}} long path that is part of the park connector network. The offshore island of Pulau Serangoon (Coney Island), was formerly part of the Changi SMC from 1951 to 1997, then subsumed into East Coast GRC (Siglap division) from 1997 to 2015 before transferring to Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC after the growth of Punggol. Activities and facilitiesConey Island is also a popular place for jet skiing and camping.[8] However, this has led to the beaches being polluted by litter such as discarded cans, instant noodle packets and bottles.[9] Coney Island ParkManaged by the National Parks Board, the {{convert|50|hectare|km2}} nature park is home to a wide variety of habitats, including coastal forests, grasslands and mangroves. The park was officially opened by the Transport Minister and Co-ordinating Minister for Infrastructure, Khaw Boon Wan in 2015.[10] During its first year of operation, a free-ranging Brahman cow was frequently sighted in the area.[11][12] Scouting{{main article|The Singapore Scout Association#Bid for 23rd World Scout Jamboree{{!}}Bid for 23rd World Scout Jamboree}}The island was proposed as the main venue to host the 23rd World Scout Jamboree, as part of a defeated bid by the Singapore Scout Association.[13] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.citypopulation.de/php/singapore-admin.php?adm1id=303|title=Punggol (Planning Area, Singapore) - Population Statistics and Location in Maps and Charts|publisher=City Population (with data from the Singapore Department of Statistics)|accessdate=August 15, 2016}} 2. ^City Population - statistics, maps and charts | Coney Island 3. ^Singapore Department of Statistics - Planning Areas/Subzones in Singapore (Year 2015) 4. ^1 Singapore.
