2. Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Playground

Location: Bishan - Ang Mo Kio Park

Opening Hours:

• Daily: 24 hours 

Lush greenery and curving river provides for a scenic view that you can admire with a picnic or by jogging or cycling around the park. But that’s not all you can do at the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.

The park is home to three play areas—water playground, adventure playground and inclusive playgrounds.

Water jets and fountains are not features of this park’s water playground. Instead scattered around the park are metal sluice gates that the little ones can operate and watch as water flows through different channels.

Little ones can challenge themselves on the pyramid-shaped climbing structure fitted with nets, look out for intruders from the wooden fort, practice tree climbing with wooden logs, cross rope bridge and enjoy slides at the adventure playground.

Over at the inclusive playground, you’ll find play equipment for children of all abilities. Alongside wheelchair accessible merry-go-round and swings, are slides, climbing nets and a huge sand pit with a digger that little ones can control. If you’re dropping by this playground, we recommend bringing your own sand toys to fully enjoy the sand play area.

Here, little ones can experience a shot of thrill zooming from one side to the other at the zipline flying fox and put their balancing prowess to test at the various balancing obstacles with varying degrees of difficulty.

If the pyramid-shaped climbing structure is too advanced for your little ones, there is a sphere climbing structure for them to conquer.

With sand play, one-of-a-kind see-saw that seats more than 2 kids at one time, cargo nets, slides, climbing ropes, a disc swing and a Viking ship structure to set sail in, your little ones are not going to want to leave.

After an exhilarating and energy-consuming day of playing, you can spread out your picnic mats for a picnic or visit the nearby Mcdonalds, which fills up quickly on weekends.

This massive park is also a great location for a leisurely stroll, cycling, kite flying, watching birds take flight and camping.

Please do note that you have to apply for a permit prior to camping out at the park.
