"This place is amazing for those who want to give kid a place to have fun. I took the 196bus got here and went underpass then to the playground. I think its a best place for kids. It’s even with toilet for kids and nearby got mcdonalds"

"Wow. Best and biggest playground in Singapore maybe! Great for kids. There are dedicated areas for toddlers as well as school age kids. But do keep me mind that big kids also go in the toddler section so need to watch out if you have a young toddler. rather crowded but still lots of space for everyone. Beach is just across so can play out in the sand too. Washrooms with showers adjacent too. Bring water to keep hydrated and cool down, there is little breeze even though it is right next to ocean which I found surprising and was quite hot even though I visited in the late afternoon. McDonald's and other food places adjacent too for a quick snack."
