A Playground Designed for Every Child

Let's take a look at what you can expect at the Toa Payoh Central Playground
A Climbing Adventure (Dry Zone)
The dry play zone is a true delight for little adventurers. Its centrepiece is a magnificent rope and climbing structure that encourages children to navigate from one end to the other. On one side, a rope course awaits those who love to test their agility and balance. For the younger ones, the other side features a gradually sloping climbing wall-like obstacle, ensuring that even toddlers can enjoy the thrill of ascent.
The structure is shaped like a wave with ropes for kids to climb up and down. In the middle of the structure, another rope obstacle acts as a ladder, offering another fun way to climb up and down.
Beyond this main structure, there's a dedicated area for the even younger tots, complete with three delightful slides (the red single slide and blue twin slides), easy-to-climb ropes, and a small tunnel for crawling through.
The surrounding area is dotted with classic playground favourites that are sure to spark joy:
- A classic spring ride for bouncing fun. This one even allows baby to sit in while parents bounce the ride, facing them!
- Traditional swings for soaring through the air. It includes 2 normal single wings and a larger basket swing for group swinging.
- A lively mini merry-go-round for group play.
- A unique speed racer where kids can race on the stationary bikes and using the digital screen to see their progress.
- An exciting interactive pole where children can turn a knob rapidly, watching a light ascend, competing to see who can reach the top first!
Splash into Fun: The Wet Play Zone
The wet play area is on hand to provide simple yet exhilarating water fun for young ones. While not overly elaborate, just the sprinklers and fountains is sure to guarantee plenty of joyous splashing for the kiddos! To kick off the water play, simply press the button on the prominent red pole.
There's an open wash area conveniently located next to the water play for rinsing off, but do note that dedicated changing rooms are not available.
