Here is a look at some of the best Fernvale playgrounds where kids and families to enjoy some outdoor time.
Fernvale Playgrounds: Neighbourhood Fun at Sengkang West
Fernvale Vines
We found another ship-themed playground at Fernvale Vines to add to the playable ships in Sengkang. This friendly pirate ship can be found next to The Sports Arina at Jalan Kayu. The exact location is next to Blk 464B Fernvale Road, with an exercise corner and a toddlers’ playground right beside it.

We were quite impressed by the scale of it and it does take some effort to climb up to the deck. Below the ship are hammock swings and other play elements that children can linger at away from the hot sun or rain.
There are a few ways to board the ship – either through metal rungs, rope ladders or the conventional steps. Head up to the deck where one can play pretend Captain Jack Sparrow and use the binoculars, turn the wheel and get closer to the masts.
Take one of two slides to get down. The long grey slide can be rather fast so do watch out as you head downwards into the “open sea”. A wavy see-saw and a spinner can also be found right next to the ship.
Not far away is a “caterpillar” train, mounds and another see-saw. This is suitable for the younger ones below 5. There is also a swing which was under maintenance at the time of visit.
Fernvale Acres
One of our favourite playgrounds in the Fernvale neighbourhood can be found at Fernvale Acres. This playground features a trio of cows that kids can climb up on and into. A climbing platform playground at the rear of the cows provides even more options for kids to play.
Banyan Tree Playground at the Sengkang Park Connector to Fernvale Lane
Amazingly, just beside the Fernvale Acres cow playground, there is another playground where kids can indulge in outdoor time. Inspired by the banyan tree, the two orange play structures at the Sengkang Park Connector invite kids to climb and see the world from a different perspective up on the netted platform.
Fernvale Dew Curled Net
Fernvale Dew is not far from Fernvale Acres. The estate here is home to four different play areas that cater to ages all the way from toddler to 12 years old. One of the standout playground at Fernvale Dew is the curled net. Kids can challenge their climbing skills as they make their way up the comma-shaped play structure.

Fernvale Glades has a number of playgrounds. However, the one that stands out the most is located between blocks 459B and 462A. This playground is made up of three parts include green play towers topped off tree crown-shaped designs. On this play structure, one of the climb nets is designed on a curve to provide extra challenge. There are also a set of swings, including a basket swing.
Fernvale Riverbow Playground
Fernvale Riverbow is home to three separate playgrounds. These include a low orange playground and a criss-crossed frame playground just beside the waters of Sungei Punggol. However, our favourite is playground next to Block 416B. There are plenty of climbing opportunities for kids in the form of an array of platforms as well as a netted dome.

The largest area is at the open court in front of Block 438A and 438B where a playground structure with multiple slides can be found. There is also sheltered seating nearby, which is great for caregivers to sit while watching the kids play. At Fernvale Court Block 438, there is a plane-themed playground while Fernvale Grove, at Block 436, has another play structure for kids.
