Remember the old Swing, See Saw and Merry Go Round at Raffles Place (Mar)? This Nostalgic playground will be shifting to East Coast from mid May to end Jul.
Video : It is easy to imagine we are in the 1980s, just remove the high rise buildings around us.
So many Firsts for the kiddos. First time on Merry Go Round and See-Saw.
Just remove footwear and see kids grin when sand tickles toes !
There are some Giant Tulips at Raffles place too.
Many families made their way to Raffles Place playground on this Sunday afternoon too.
Kids’ expressions are always genuine, look how FUN was defined this afternoon :p
Monday blues? Watch the video above and let SengkangBabies relive your childhood memories π
Reposting our Playground Memories from our old blog. In 2011, we covered 7 old-school playgrounds over a period of two months. Sadly some playgrounds has since been torn down….
Daddy found this interesting article on Friday’s (07-Jan-2011) Straits Times Life section. He saw seven 30+ years old Playgrounds!
We got inspired, and ## Project Playground (PP) was born.
Sengkangbabies will be roaming these prehistoric playgrounds, before they are gone for good! Sadly, in Singapore, everything is build, tore down, and rebuild again in accelerated speed π
Our Old-playground project is not only dedicated to the kids, but also to everyone who is young-at-hearts π Yes, you!! The boys and girls born in the 70s and 80s. Feeling Nostalgic already?
#Playground 1 – Dragon – Ang Mo Kio Ave 3 Blk 570
Kids start climbing the stairs and the Dragon’s guts.
Video : Exploration, slow and fast boys
Boys, do you realise this playground is nearly as old as your Daddy?
On hindsight, Daddy should arrange smallest one behind..
Sliding with Sengkangbabies are never boring ! Yi got angry keke.
Video : Even Daddy could not resist the slides !
How many kid have fond childhood memories of Dragon?
When will people start taking care of their own playgrounds and backyards?
The other newer playground.
2) As part of 2011 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival (arts), School of Hard Knocks had showcased their “playgrounds-collection” captured over the last few years.
Quoted from their Facebook Wall
~~ The playground was our school, imagination was our friend, lifes lessons were learnt through the bumps and bruises we gathered from knocking against those colourful, rock hard mosaic tiles ~~
