Changi City Point Playground

Another one of Singapore's wonderful wet playgrounds, this one's at Changi City Point at Level 2 beside Koufu Food Court. This one's a bit bigger than the Tampines wet playground and had the usual water features such as a wading area, some water fountains, a water jet area that you can run through and it would spray mist from all sides and water guns for the older kids.

Lexi had a great time jumping up and down, walking around and just submerging herself in the wading pool. 

She also tried to make friends, that's her in one of the pictures below, offering up some dried leaves as a nice-to-meet-you gesture to her new playground friend.

And this is Lexi running back and forth through the water jets.

Another great place to go if you have young kids. Makes me wish there were wet playgrounds near central Singapore but hey, it's still just a bus + train ride away so definitely worth another visit.

Rooftop Playground at Tampines1

More than anything my daughter loves to swim and even though we have a pool in our condo and I make it a point to have swim time with her 2-3x a week, I still want her to experience going to water parks and wet playgrounds so she can have fun with other kids.

Thank goodness there's a new wet playground in town. We read about the playground in the Straits Times and saw the reviews from a few mommy/daddy blogs. It only opened last weekend (March 10) but I felt it would be too crowded so we went on a weekday instead.

Here are a few pics from our playground jaunt...







I think the place is another great venue to bring your kids to and it's free! However, please note that it is a rooftop area and can get windy at times so if you bring your kids in the late afternoon, they shouldn't stay too long as they'll be freezing cold after awhile. I'm sure they won't notice this and complain as they'll be too busy running around the different water spouts so as a parent you'll have to be watchful.

Another thing, though most areas are made of a padded material and therefore safe, there is one area (see middle pictures, the one on the left) where they have pretend rocks (or could be actual rocks) which I think are a bit dangerous as children kept stepping on these things and could possibly slip and hit their head. I was worried especially as this was where my daughter wanted to stay and so we just had to be extra careful.

Still, despite these, it was a great new space for kids, we had an absolutely wonderful time and will surely be back soon!
