Children’s Play Ground

We’ll be the first to admit it – it’s tough not to simply hand over our iPads or mobile phones when our children get bored and start fussing. But if given the choice, we’d rather be actively engaging with our kids, and letting them get some physical activity in at the same time. Thankfully, Singapore has no shortage of outdoor playgrounds that you can explore with your little ones. We have playgrounds with gigantic slides, playgrounds with trampolines, and even playgrounds with flying foxes. All of them are 100 per cent FREE to access, so you’ve got no more excuses. Put on your comfiest footwear and rally the kids – it’s time to explore some of our favourite and most iconic outdoor playgrounds in Singapore! dragon playgrounds were conceptualised in 1979 by one of HDB’s in-house designers. They were inspired by dragon motifs commonly found in the local Chinese community. After 1993, dragon playgrounds were phased out due to safety concerns. Today, only three dragon playgrounds are left standing. The most famous one in Toa Payoh (which comes with a sandpit!) was thankfully left intact, although the blocks of flats around it were demolished.
