The best playgrounds in Singapore

Indoors or outdoors, there are many awesome places for a family day out. Singapore may be an urban jungle, but this Little Red Dot also boasts lush green spaces across the island. It’s not called the Garden City for nothing! Here are some places with the best outdoor adventure playgrounds…

Outdoor playgrounds

• Jurong Lakeside Gardens

Take in the 90 hectares of lush greenery across the three gardens at Jurong Lakeside Gardens. Expect a natureinspired playground that encourages kids to mimic the actions and motions of the animals that inhabit the freshwater swamp habitat - pretty cool, right?

• East Coast Park

Take your pick when it comes to playgrounds in East Coast Park! Make a beeline for the awesome playground at Marine Cove, or hotfoot it to Coastal Playgrove, which offers up water play, sand pits, incredible slides, and a nature playground!

• Admiralty Park

The largest park in the north of the Little Red Dot, this vast green space scoops the title of the largest nature area within an urban park. It’s also our personal favourite as it is home to the most number of slides in any park in Singapore! That’s right, folks – Admiralty Park boasts a sliptastic 26 slides!

Indoor playgrounds

Sometimes, a day outdoors can be a challenging, tantrum-inducing proposition – and we don’t just mean the kids! Save your sanity and head to one of Singapore’s top indoor play centres for a blissful couple of hours. Not only will your tiny tearaways enjoy kids’ play and be entertained, but you’ll get to savour a coffee in peace.

• Themed play areas

There are plenty of indoor playgrounds with fun themes. You’ll be spoilt for choice – from the popular Pororo Penguin and Tayo Bus to a fun animal safari and science-based edutainment. And that’s barely scratching the surface!

• Trampoline parks

A trampoline park is possibly the quickest and sweatiest way to tire out your terrors. Kids go crazy for interconnected trampolines, dodge ball court, parkour walls, slam dunk rings, slacklines, tumble tracks, and rock climbing walls.

• Bouncy castle-themed indoor play centres

Here’s another option for your active kiddos, with more inflatables than your house can handle. Think largerthan-life bouncy play structures, complete with slides, bridges, ball pits, and more.
