The Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park has been around for some time and it is quite a fun spot for kids to enjoy.
One of the features of the Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park is that it is fitted out with an asphalt road surface and real curbs. This makes it more realistic and the curbs are even painted black and white. Plus, there are road signs like traffic arrow and zebra crossings incorporated into the course.
The Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park is set out in the middle of an octagon of trellises and the layout of the course is semi-circular on one side and has a more windy course on the other.
A road runs down the middle of the course, giving more options for kids to navigate as they play pretend. Some of the turns on the course are rather tight too – like a crank course– so they will need to navigate it slowly.
There are stop lines at junctions that kids need to observe and there is even a yellow box – great for them to learn more about the road traffic rules.
Enjoying the Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park
The Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park is free to use and enjoy.
There is also a sheltered playground close by.
Shops and eateries make it convenient to grab some refreshments with the kids after they have been scootering or cycling around for some time.
You can find the Tampines Street 21 Mini Road Safety Park in front of Block 209 Tampines Street 21.
