The Tampines 1 Playground, found on the rooftop of the Tampines shopping mall, offers both dry and wet play areas for kids.
Tampines 1 Playground: Rooftop Play with Dry & Wet Areas
The main structure at the dry play section of the Tampines 1 Playground consists of a faux rock climbing wall. Handholds situated within the wall let kids scale up the rocky wall.
An archway in the wall is where a khaki-coloured slide with gentle curves extends from down to the ground. To reach the archway, kids can climb up an orange ladder set at the rear of the wall.

At the rear of the faux rock climb wall, you can find a set of four seat and a table. This section of the Tampines 1 Playground dry play area is covered with a shade, which is good news for the times when the sun is directly overhead.
There is more play equipment found at the Tampines 1 Playground include a toddlers’ area for children between two to five years old.
Kids can climb through a purple wall and take a bright orange slide on the other side.
Here, there are also teeter-totters and some activity panels where kids can engage in simple play activities.
Wildlife Wet Play Area
The Tampines 1 Playground has a wildlife-themed wet play area which consists of gushing fountains. These jets of water are surrounded by hippos, giving it a jungle-like theme.
When we recently paid the Tampines 1 playground a visit, the wet play area was closed for maintenance.
Above, you can view a picture of what the wildlife water play area looked like back in 2017.
At the far back of the rooftop playground is another wet play area which has an arctic theme with polar bears and seals.
To round off the menagerie of animals found at the Tampines 1 Playground are a set of green topiaries. These come in the form of animals such as giraffes and decorate the side of the rooftop playground.
Other facilities found at the Tampines 1 rooftop include shower and changing areas.
