anyone know of any old playgrounds in SG?

i just saw this channel 8 ad of the girl who likes to drama and talk to herself and there's some scenes of an old playground...

thanks for any help =D
 

just the other day i was talin with my wife about taking pic of old play ground... i oso lookin for it... lol
 

The estate opposite NUS Science there, across the expressway, there's a small old playground there... I saw it the other day when I was walking from NUS to Buona Vista. Haha!

So has anyone found the old playground in the Channel 8 ad? I'm also looking for it.
 

yea... the type of play ground where the slide is make of cement and stone instead... and cover with small mini mosaic
 

There's an abandoned, dilapidated playground at Commonwealth Crescent. Has some of those old-fashioned concrete slides (maybe even the mosaic tiles) Haven't been there for a while -- last I saw it was overgrown with grass (hasn't been used in over a decade, maybe 2).

Do you want old and functional, or run-down? Sorry, haven't seen the ad in question.
 

I have been looking for old playgrounds for a few months. Found a few places, but to my dismay, those really old ones, like that metal merry-go-round are nowhere to be found. I figured out that most probably they have rusted (removed as too dangerous for children) and or someone stole them and sell it to metal collectors. :S So I guess it's unlikely to find them anymore, in singapore.

I hope that through this thread I can gather some information on some places which i found online, but do not know the exact location.

Does anyone knows where this place in pasir ris is?

I have also heard that there is an old playground in Lim Chu Kang. But LCK is really too big, any idea roughly where it is?

Any clues will be appreciated. Thanks for looking. :)

This is classic...i play this most of the time in my early days. There's no more such merry-go-rounds in Singapore right? As in this round metal one
