There are a lot of free playgrounds in Singapore. The free outdoor playground in VivoCity is one of the most popular.
The playground is located on the second floor of the mall. It’s quite big.
There are slides, climbing structures and a lot of other things to keep the kids busy and happy!
Our favourite is this “teletubby hill”… A super big slide covered with artificial grass.
There is also a place where the kids can ride small cars, scooters or toy horses. They cost $5 for a 5 minute ride. Look at Renan, driving his first jeep!
Besides the playground, there is also a big rooftop water feature/wading pool in VivoCity. The kids just love playing in the wading pool.
You know, they even learned to walk there! This is Renan when he just turned 1 year old in 2012.
And this is Carla, also just turned 1 year old, in 2010.
So, if you haven’t been here before, you should definitely come and check this playground out!
Thanks for sharing this! I have been missing out on mall playgrounds and didn’t know that’s one at vivo! It sure looks fun.
It is! You should bring your kids there, they’ll love it!
What I don’t get is why they are putting in wet play areas, it’s a real hassel having to carry an extra bag of water play clothes and a towel when going to the mall.
Haha, it’s true… But the kids love it, so that’s ok….
You must have a car 🙂
Well, that’s the problem… We don’t have a car! But we usually just pack swimsuits and a small towel… We don’t bring clean clothes, too bulky. When the kids are done, we’d just towel them dry, put on the same clothes that they are wearing to go to the mall, toss the wet swimsuits in the plastic bag, and get a taxi home… Not that bad actually:)
Have you tried the tray toboggans? Sometimes behind a nearby bin you can find a few plastic fast food restaurant trays. They make the grass hill extra slidey.
I do love the recent updates to this playground – the equipment they replaced a month or two back was all good decisions.
Tray toboggans sound fun. Will try them next time we go there. Thanks for the tip!
The playground looks nice, but I thought there were more things before the renovation? Or not? Can’t remember:p
The trays aren’t always there… but maybe 75% of the time yes. (My son tried to ask one of the nearby food places one time when they weren’t there and obviously didn’t get very far…)
My memory may not be accurate, but in my mind there were about the same number of things, but the new things are things my kids like to play with more. There might actually have been a couple more before, but to me it seems like there’s more now just because my kids find the new stuff more accessible. Some people are probably having the opposite experience!
