Punggol Point Cove Playground: The Tiger and the Elephant

This pair is made up of a tiger playground and an elephant playground.

The wooden tiger playground features the fearsome animal snorting away. With its wooden paws peeking out from under its face, it looks ready to pounce.
However, kids will not be intimidated. Instead, they can run into the mouth of the tiger and head into the playground structure hidden behind the striped face.
There is a little netted bridge for kids to cross, making their way along the tiger’s striped “body” and to the yellow slide at the end.
A cheeky monkey peeks out from behind the tiger’s face while a two-tone brown slide provide a way down that leads to the neighbouring elephant playground.
Elephant Playground
We were pretty excited to see the elephant playground at Punggol Point Cove. From a distance, the blue elephant looks imposing and regal.
Up close, elephant playground is a fun structure where its two tusks act as slides for kids to swoosh about.
Kids can choose to enter in from the rear where a series of steps lead up to the head of the elephant. Alternatively, there is also a ladder at the elephant’s trunk that can be used to reach the platform where the slides begin.
Other play elements at the tiger and elephant playground include a merry-go-round and monkey teeter-totter.
There is also a circular game that four persons can play by shifting it around to try to score points.

Punggol Point Cove
These are just some of the fun playgrounds that can be found at Punggol Point Cove. There are some sections that were still not yet opened when we visited.
One thing that we discovered when we were at Punggol Point Cove is that it is just opposite from the entrance to Coney Island Park. This makes it a great starting point if you wish to pay a visit to Coney Island Park.
