Presenting our favourite playground in Pasir Ris Park!
With the lush canopy shading the huge playground and cool breeze from the sea, we often found ourselves losing track of time while running from station to station in the Pasir Ris Park Playground.
Pasir Ris Park Playground For the Little Ones
We will be visiting this part of the playground more often these days. Swings with bucket seats for the toddlers, a maze for the little ones to explore, and a tunnel that enhances the children’s gross motor skills and sensory experience. Crawling through the tunnel may look like an easy and straightforward task to us, but for the little ones, it takes them some courage to brave through the enclosed structure.
A new inclusive merry-go-round and swing to allow children with varying abilities to join in the fun.
For the slightly older ones – the Galactic Zone
We see some trickier climbing structures in the Pasir Ris Park Playground to encourage the children to use their limbs like monkeys! I believe climbing is an essential part of play, to give them an opportunity to work on their sense of balance or vestibular system. Once they conquer the fear of these structures and mastering their climb, see how they will beam with confidence.
On the hill
This section houses the most exciting part of the playground.
The rope tunnel provides a safer option for our little ones to hone their climbing skills before embarking on the more demanding climbing net. Npark refurbished the climbing net and slide in 4th quarter of 2020.
A bridge structure that is made up of steel rods and ropes. This seems to be the most difficult installation as my children have taken the longest time to master the climb. The steel rods are placed relatively far apart from each other. Smaller built children may need a leap of faith to place their feet onto the next rod with minimum handholds available.
Music Corner
There is also a corner for the children to showcase their musical talents!
In the Middle
Right smacked in the middle of the Pasir Ris Park Playground is a suspension bridge typically filled with children on a weekend evening. Update: The bridge has been removed with no sign of returning.

Behind the Galactic Zone
I believe this is one of the oldest installations in the playground. Built on a sandpit, there are 3 transport theme play stations for the children to enjoy.
There are a number of other installations such as the flying fox and rotating bars that I did not include here.
With so many corners to explore, your little ones may need more than an hour to cover the whole place.

Since the playground is well-shaded by the canopy of mature trees, you can begin your adventure even at 3 pm in the afternoon.

There are restrooms, water coolers and vending machines for drinks and titbits just across the bicycle path near the swings with bucket seats.

Most of the playground visitors will be famished by the time they realise it is getting dark.
