小小的公園

Great place to bring kids over weekend.

We are thankful to have a group, lesson in these park

Fantastic playground for adults and kids. Also an ideal Parkour training spot. ;)

Connected to St Nicholas park / playground, the lucky residents here get to enjoy great outdoor facilities, exercise and playground equipment. The highlight is the circular path that connects the 2 parks

In order to ensure that Singapore is a pleasant city to live in, visit or do business, about 9 per cent of land here has been allocated for parks, playground and nature reserves. And about 85 per cent of residents will live within 400m of a park by 2030. The proposed Round Island Route, stretching 150km, will provide an uninterrupted leisure route around the island, linking major cultural and historical sites and cycling networks. Singapore has a master plan for a clean, green and blue sustainable city and is making a paradigm shift from a "Garden City" to a "City in a Garden". Allowing people access to the natural environment could yield important benefits for the "mental capital" of a city. The neighbourhood parks and playground allow people to gain a fresh perspective on life, helping visitors to temporarily escape from buildings and crowded streets. Trees and grass in common spaces improve social interaction. Moreover, parks and greenery, such as New York's Central Park and Singapore's Botanic Gardens, soften the tone of a built landscape and make high-density urban environments more liveable.

Right next to St Nicholas View Playground, so really they should be considered one and the same. Like the Ellington Square Playground just a five minute walk away, these two playgrounds are very well-equipped, with exercise equipment of all kinds, a basketball court, your typical swings and slides, and a particularly impressive piece of climbing equipment that looks like something out of Ninja Warrior!
