The name Brontosaur Park conjured up “big things” in our minds when we came across it. Would there be dinosaurs at this Pasir Ris neighbourhood park, or would there be a dinosaur at the Brontosaur Park playground, or would there be any special theming at the park?
Brontosaur Park was completed on 5 February 1999. It was officially opened on 5 November 2000 by Rear Admiral Teo Chee Hean.
The good news is that there is a Brontosaur Park playground which is dinosaur-themed and dinosaur loving kids can enjoy playing with them at this Pasir Ris neighbourhood park.

The Brontosaur Park playground is dinosaur themed – something that is befitting the name of the park that can be found in Pasir Ris, not far from Tampines Meridian Junior College.
The main play structure is a dinosaur playground. At one end is the dinosaur’s head which leads up towards the main belly of the beast!
Balancing out the head and neck of the dinosaur playground is its tail which is made up of a roller slide.
Kids can also enter into the dinosaur playground at Brontosaur Park through various climbing steps at the dinosaur’s legs or through other climbing frames underneath the dinosaur’s belly.
The big dinosaur is not the only play equipment at the Brontosaur Park playground.
There is a green dino shaped slide for younger kids. Kids can also hop onboard dino footprint springer and sway back and forth.
There are also dinosaur egg shaped structures within the soft padded playground. However, it looks like the eggs have been cracked open and the dinosaurs have escaped!
Rope hammocks are slung out between stegosaurus spike shaped anchors.
We also appreciated how the dinosaur theming also applied to the teeter totters which were also dinosaur shaped.
There are also other rope bridges that kids can climb across. They are all part of the fun at the Brontosaur Park playground.
Dinosaurs in the Garden
Take a walk around the rest of Brontosaur Park and you will come across mini sculptures of dinosaurs standing amidst the greenery.
The three brightly colour dinosaurs can be found amongst the pathways, where you can also dinosaur footprint shaped spots.
Sculptures in the Park
Another of the distinctive features of the park is the many sculptures that decorate the green space.
These unique looking sculptures, made from metal, give the park an interesting character. Many of the sculptures at Brontosaur Park invite pondering; try to guess what each sculpture is intended to represent. Approach the pedestal and you can find the sculptor’s name.
The one-hectare park features different species of trees, palms and shrubs. Take a walk along the paths that wind through the park to enjoy the various plants.
