Xefera 6th Gear April 10, 2010 Share April 10, 2010 2,3 and 5 are very common in AMK last time. Still got one with the over hanging beams with swings below. remember a lot of kids like to climb on top of the beams and chit chat there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely dangerous for playing catching, but hell lot of fun. The downside with sand playgrounds is that they are a magnet for cat poo and pee. Washing hands after playing is a dead must.

Zach09 Neutral Newbie April 10, 2010 Share April 10, 2010 I think the last Dragon playground is at Toa Payoh. There used to be one in Teck whye and clementi. Dragon playground nice to play catching in. The last pic, I think used to be found in clementi or ang mo kio areas. Man, how I missed those days.

Bicolor 5th Gear April 10, 2010 Share April 10, 2010 Interesting, thanks for sharing. The dragon one is in Toa Payoh, probably the last of its kind around now. I remember driving past last year when I saw it and decided to find somewhere nearby to park, then walked over and took a photo of it. I remember such playgrounds were common when I was a kid - there was a similar dragon one in Clementi where I used to live. I pity today's kids - everything so sterile, cannot touch this and that because its "dirty" or "dangerous"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rjmsfire Neutral Newbie April 10, 2010 Share April 10, 2010 I think there should be more than 5 of these around. The CNN writer was simply highlighting 5 designs. If I'm not mistaken, there is a Dragon playground at Blk 92 Kim Seng Road ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
