The mall playground is made up of separate play areas offers both wet play and dry play opportunities for children. The sea-faring theme is carried over to both playground areas.
Best of all, access to the NEX rooftop playground is free!
NEX Mall Water Playground
At the centre of the NEX playground is a pirate ship play structure where there are multiple levels of decks for kids to find their own fun.
A bucket splashes water down to add to the adventure for kids who are charting their way through the seas.
Why are kids in a frenzy onboard the ship?
It is because there is an orange sea monster chasing after the ship? Positioned just to the rear, the giant sea monster has its tentacles all about.
Daring kids can climb up the monster, using the hand and footholds in between its googly looking eyes and slide down its back. A yellow tunnel also runs through the monster at the NEX playground.
Elsewhere around the NEX water playground, there are sprays and fountains. Kids will appreciate the chance to soak in them on hot days where the sprinkles of water will help them to cool off.
At the front of the pirate ship, there is a little wet play area where kids can enjoy playing amongst the fountains where there are cute cartoon sea animals like octopi, a whale and sea star.
Coconut trees send down buckets of water instead of coconut fruit, adding to the splashing fun for kids at the water playground.
Dry Playground at NEX Mall
For kids who don’t want to get wet or who forgot to bring along their swimmers, there is also a dry playground.
A second ship, this one flying the NEX flag instead of the Jolly Roger, can be found outside of the gated wet playground area.
The red ship playground has got slides as well as other climbing apparatus for kids to enjoy.
Close by, there are a set of low swings that kids can either sit or stand on whilst imagining that they are swaying back and forth amongst the waves.
There are some seats close by for parents and care givers to rest whilst watching over their kids.
Changing Amenities at the NEX Rooftop Playground
It is also good to know that there is a small changing room for kids who wish to head to the NEX water playground.
The changing room, decorated with cut outs of sea creatures on the front, is located close to the entrance of the gated area of the water playground.
