Nature playgardens offer a place for kids to experience the joys of nature in a lush green garden filled with natural materials. And East Coast Park has three nature playgardens, spread out across various family-friendly nodes in the coastal park.
These East Coast Park nature playgardens have bamboo groves and balancing log trails. They offer children between the ages of 3 to 12 a chance to commune with nature around in a naturalistic setting.
