Free playgrounds in Singapore<\/b><\/h2>\n
\n

Playgrounds are a fail-proof way for kids to unleash all their energy, and a guaranteed spot to lift any kidult\u2019s spirits. In fact, while many of us think public playgrounds are catered to children, there are many with equally thrilling slides and rope courses that kiddos and adults alike will get a good kick out of.<\/p>\n

From family-friendly playgrounds ideal for your crawling tot, to others with 4-storey climbing structures and 34m slides, here are the best free playgrounds in Singapore<\/b> to let your inner child \u2013 or your actual child \u2013 run wild.<\/p>\n\n

What to prepare before visiting a playground in Singapore<\/b><\/h6>\n
\n

When your child is scampering all over the playground, you\u2019ll want to make sure that they\u2019re wearing proper footwear<\/b> so they don\u2019t trip over themselves or the playground equipment. Running shoes<\/a> and strap-on sandals<\/a> would be the most appropriate. Loose slippers and slides might be a tripping hazard for young ones.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning for some water play, then remember to pack a change of clothes<\/b> – shirt<\/a>, undergarments<\/a>, and shorts<\/a> –\u00a0 for both yourself and your child, so you\u2019re not soaking wet going home. Packing a couple of Ziploc bags<\/a> for the pile will also help.<\/p>\n

Of course, pack plenty of water<\/a> to keep your kids hydrated in Singapore\u2019s sweltering heat. Sunscreen<\/a> and a cap<\/a> are definitely helpful in warding off harmful UV rays, with wet wipes<\/a> coming in handy to clean up your kids\u2019 muck-covered faces. Snacks<\/a> are a thoughtful inclusion, in case the kids get peckish after a whole day\u2019s worth of play. Of course, you\u2019d need a handy backpack<\/a> to stow away all this barang barang<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The next time your family has an outing to the Mandai Wildlife Reserve<\/a>, have your kids burn off any pent up energy at Mandai Wildlife West<\/b><\/a>. Located just next to Bird Paradise<\/a>, this free-to-enter park<\/a> has 5 nature-themed playgrounds for little ones to run amok.<\/p>\n

If they fancy themselves a Dora the Explorer or her cousin Diego, they\u2019ll love climbing all over the wooden bridges and mini rope ladders. But it\u2019s not all play here either. The playgrounds have been designed to mimic mangroves and forests for a teachable moment on ecosystems.<\/p>\n

If the lil\u2019 ones still have gas left in the tank, then head next door to KidzWorld<\/a>, nestled in the Singapore Zoo<\/a> to complete your day out. Alternatively, checking out the nearby Rainforest Wild ASIA<\/a> is an option that can only end in a fun adventure. However, do note that you\u2019ll need to purchase entry tickets to get to these 2 areas.<\/p>\n\n
