Just like the two-storey carousel rides at large carnivals, the playground structure also has two levels.
At the bottom level, you will find a series of carousel spots where kids can climb onboard as if they are riding a carousel.
There is an individual horse seat, as well as other gallopers that can accommodate up to two kids at a time.
Just like on a real carousel, there is even a carriage for those who don’t wish to climb onto a horse.
Unfortunately, the horses don’t spin around – so kids will have to make do with play pretending.
What does spin around is a tall and narrow spinner. They can go for a spin on it while on it while hanging on tight.
Second Level of the Carousel
When ready to explore more of the Yishun Beacon carousel playground, kids can make their way up a netted ramp to the upper level.
Here, there are climbing ropes with flower-themed niches that they can climb on top of, all while looking down at those playing below.
The second level of the Yishun Beacon Carousel Playground also has two slides that kids can use to make their way back down to the ground.
Vertical Playground for Older Kids
Just nearby, older kids can scale up a vertical playground with pastel hues. Climbing inside, they can follow the ribbon that leads to the top of the vertical playground, where a yellow enclosed tube slide awaits.
Need to expend more energy? A bouncy trampoline can also be found at this section of the Yishun Beacon Playground, along with a standing see-saw for kids to play going up and down.
Multi-Storey Car Park Rooftop Playground
