The Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden invokes the spirit of Singapore’s kampong past, inviting kids to experience nature with elements of coastal village life.
Located next to Pasir Ris Park Car Park A, the new Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden is divided into four different zones. Each of these was inspired by kampong life and Pasir Ris’ past as a coastal settlement.
Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden
Village Settlement Zone
One of the play features that greet kids at the Village Settlement Zone is Butterflies In The Woods. This log maze is designed for kids between the ages of 5 to 12 years old.
A series of logs create pathways where kids can balance on while their walk amongst butterfly-attracting plants.
The Sensory Bridge provides different textures underfoot.
Kids can also spot visual features like a snake or a flowers carved in wood from Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden’s Sensory Bridge.
Venturing further in, there are different elements like teepees made from wood, a table for gatherings and even a campfire area.
At The Weavers, kids can use fallen leaves to create weaves on a wooden frame.
Village Square
There’s more of kampong life. Head over to the well (filled with pebbles) or make music with a set of angklungs.
There are also stepping stones at Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden with poles by the side.
A pebble stream leads past a boat while a tortoise looks on.
Shore Zone
The Shore Zone at Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden includes a little knoll where kid can look out to sea.
Around the sandy pit are a slide and sand play table.
A unique play element found at the Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden shore area is a pair of weighing scales made from coconut husks. After all trade must have been part of village life?
Sea Zone
The fourth zone at Pasir Ris Park Nature Playgarden is the Sea Zone.
Here, kids can work together on wooden “boats” and imagine they are using nets to haul in the catch of the day.
It is all part of the fun imagining of kampong life and nature play.
