Singapore's Old Playground - The Dragon

Among Singapore' Old Playground series, the Dragon is my favourite and most vivid in my memory. Situated along Toa Payoh Lor 6, it is one of the last few remaining heritage playgrounds from the 1980s.

Today, we brought our girl to explore the Dragon playground. Instead of rubber mats, she was within the sandy pit. At first, she appeared uneasy upon stepping on the unfamiliar ground, feeling a little scared climbing up the narrow metal ladder to the top of the Dragon's head. Soon she found the trill scaling down from the Dragon's back.

Perfect photography spot with the Dragon's head.

Another unique feature of Singapore's Old Playground is the mosaic tiles where their colours did not fade over the test of time.

The slides are narrower and you can tell with Daddy attempting to fit in. 

After a few climbs up the ladder, our girl no longer finds it daunting and she was having fun moving up and sliding down.

The presence of Daddy definitely gave her a lot of support and confidence. It was precious Daddy and Daughter time at the playground.

It was a pity the swings no longer stands but our girl don't mind sinking her hands and feet into the sand for as long as she can.
