Shapes and Mirrors

Close by, a wall of shapes and textures beckons little ones.

Texture wall

At the texture wall, young children can search out different textures and materials such as metal, fabric and tile. There are also combinations of colours and shapes for them to identify.

Two optical illusion walls can also be found here.

A cluster of concave and convex mirrors provides simple amusement, transforming kids’ reflections, making them taller, wider or smaller.

Another illusion wall plays with the senses by manipulating what is seen with the physical measurements of the images.


Bonus Playground: Pirate Play

Also worth mentioning is another playground located in front of Block 180, Bukit Batok West Avenue 8.

Pirate Playground

This black-and-red pirate playground, complete with wind-swept flags, offers a chance for children to engage in make-believe play. Kids can climb the deck, peer through portholes and make a quick escape down a slide and off the pirate ship.

Arrow and Seek

Twirl an arrow and fabricate a game using the various symbols, such as a seahorse and star, around the pirate ship playground.

Speed Racer Game

For a slightly different spin on things, this playground also has a Speed Racer game.

In this head-to-head challenge, two persons can physically pedal away on the bike located in front of an electronic game board and compete to see who comes in first.
