The Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Playgrounds can be found spread out around the large park. There is one – the Inclusive Playground – found at the River Plains side of the park, and two – the Water Playground and the Adventure Playground – found at the Pond Gardens half of the park, closer to Upper Thomson Road.
These three Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park playgrounds offer different play experiences and are also a great reason for families with young children to head to the picturesque park.
Here is a look a the three Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park playgrounds.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Water Playground
THIS WEEKEND: Unleash the Power of Stories for Kids with Workshops, Storytelling Session, Book Launches & More
When it first opened, the Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Water Playground was unique as far as water playgrounds go. While most water playgrounds feature jets of water, splashing buckets and slippery slides, Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Water Playground is designed with a different purpose in mind.
The playground consists of channels of flowing water. This springs from a source at the top of the gentle slope the playground is built on and flows downwards by gravity.
A series of metal sluice gates allows kids to “direct” and “control” the never-ending flow of water.
This allows them to learn by observation about gravity and the motion of water.
Specially shaped channels let kids observe how water behaves as it encounters obstacles.
At one of the channels, kids can even move around the barriers to create their own water eddies.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park’s Water Playground also has a little structure with little sprouts of water for kids to play with. Blue, yellow and green mounds dot the water playground’s landscape. These foam mounds contrast with the rocky boulders scattered around the play area.
Unfortunately, the foam mounds are starting to get a bit worn out.
The Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Water Playground is suitable for kids in need a break from the madcap rush found at regular water playgrounds.
An alternative water play area that also offers something of the similar nature is the water play area at Bukit Canberra. Or the other spot can be found at Jurong Lake Gardens – Clusia Cove.
It is located at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park’s Pond Gardens just beside Car Park B.
Take note that the water at the playground is only turned on from Thursdays to Sundays at 8 am to 11 am and 4 pm to 8 pm.
There are toilets close by for changing.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Adventure Playground
The Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Adventure Playground is centred around a ship play structure.
Docked next to a concrete “hill”, this two-level blue, yellow and red ship playground has two slides, climbing poles and a variety of play panels for kids to enjoy.
The concrete “hill” is a holdover from an earlier version of the Adventure Playground.
There is also a bluish-green rope pyramid that was also from the previous iteration of the playground. Unfortunately, the rope pyramid is starting to get a bit worn down and is in need of maintenance.
There is also a series of children’s swings at the sandy playground.
Toddlers can enjoy the bucket seats available at the swings.
Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park Inclusive Playground
Over the River Plains half of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park is its third playground, the Inclusive Playground. This is probably the busiest of the three playgrounds at Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.
This sand-based playground has been fitted with equipment that lets children of all abilities play side-by-side. These include swings and a merry-go-round that accommodates wheelchairs.
Other play equipment include climbing nets, slides and more.
Bonus: Hidden Former Swing
Recycled Hill is a mound built from the concrete slabs from the former canal that ran through Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park. At the top of the hill is a sculpture, An Enclosure for a Swing.
As the name suggests, inside this gleaming metal sculpture is a swing – or at least used to be a swing.
The swing has been decommissioned but its seat can still be found there. You can still step inside the sculpture and imagine what it would have been like swaying back and forth while overlooking the pretty landscape of Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park.
