Playgrounds are an essential part of childhood. Slides, swings, ladders and ramps provide all the elements needed for kids to build up their confidence and have a healthy dose of outdoor fun. In Singapore, playgrounds can be found all over. And in the heartlands, you are never far from an HDB playground.
Residential HDB playgrounds have come a long way. There are now many interesting heartland playgrounds in residential areas, many distinct from the next. We searched high (literally) and low for some of the most fun and most interesting HDB playgrounds around Singapore's heartland neighbourhoods.
Here are some fun playgrounds around Singapore's heartlands we discovered for a fun little day out at a neighbourhood near you.
