The Compass One playground on the 4th floor of Sengkang shopping mall is an outdoor rooftop playground escape for the kids to enjoy. The playground consists of two parts and is designed for children between the ages of 2 to 12.
The free Compass One shopping centre playground opened in 2016 and consists of both dry and wet play elements.
What immediately caught our eye was the bright green waterslide at the centre of the playground. This allows kids to slip and slide their way down from the platform above to the mini-splash down pool below.
But, there is more to the playground that just the water slide.

In fact, there are a total of 17 play elements at the playground. That is an amazing number of play elements that can be found in a single play area, especially within a shopping mall.
These are organised as a “Ninja Trail” that leads kids on a mini-water obstacle course around the Compass One playground.
Compass One Playground Water Play Features
Some of the wet play features at the Compass One playground allow younger kids to interact with water without getting entirely soaking wet. These include the Invigtrail, Jelly Jumping Pads and Sprinkling Turnabout where they can just dabble with water.
When they are ready to get soaked, there are play features such as the Misty Tunnel and November Rain. At the Dip-and-Duck, they can chase after, and duck under, little fountains of water that playfully squirt up.
The “ninja” element comes in with features such as the Swing Walk and Stepper Bridge.
At these play features, kids can challenge themselves to conquer these obstacles.Kids can take on the Swing Walk and hop across its angled stepping stones, while the Stepper Bridge has a set of moving ledges for kids to get across. It is like a mini ninja obstacle course just for kids to enjoy.
Ultimately, these “ninja” obstacles lead to the Water Slide.
It is splishy-splashy fun for kids, especially when the weather is hot and they need a place to cool down.
Dry Playground at Compass One
If the kids don’t want to get wet or if they did not bring along their wet play clothes, there is not need to fret. There are dry playground features at the Compass One playground as well. These include a Net Traverse and more. Kids can use to climb up to the top of the Bell Fort platform.
There are also bouncy see-saw elements in the forms of a turtle, whale, motorbike and an elephant, and a pair of swings. Even these encircle little bursts of water at the centre. It is a lot of varied fun play elements for kids to take on while at the playground.
Amenities at the playground include a shower area.
The Compass One playground can be found at level four of the suburban shopping centre located at 1 Sengkang Square.
