playgrounds in the neighbourhood

Here are some of the playgrounds in Tampines:)

Sorry about the picture resolution but as you can see,the sand acts as a nautral cushion if any accident were to happen. The rock climbing wall is also made in the same colour as the sand, making it look more natural to its surroundings. As kids are naturally attracted to thing with bright colours, colours like yellow and purple are used. The location of the playground is also important for the effect of the theme of the playground. As you can see, the setting of the playground is quite gloomy in the morning, creating a mysterious effect. the arcs are also built built near the slides or stairs which makes the playground look very much like a treehouse. Mini bridges are also commonly used to make the whole playground look bigger and tempting for children to play in!

Although this is partly anexercise caorner as well, the first impression about the playground was that its roof makes the whole playground resemble like a castle. The roller(the thing in red with yellow handles) in which the child would have to run very fast to keep his balance is not common in other playgrounds which attracts kids to came and play. It was one of my favourite item too.




This is my personal favourite as the colour contrast is very eye-catching. With the fake tress and round canopy, the theme of this playgound is clearly like an island. The slides are the most attractive about this playgound and the synthetic trees are probably the main highlight about this playground. The common thing about most of the playgrounds I have seen is that the flooring of the playground is either rubber or sand which are probably made due to safety reasons.
