Where can you find old playgrounds in Singapore? Justin at just rambling is doing research on “old-school” playgrounds that were built by the HDB between 1979-1993.

Finally had some time to review my research on Singapore’s old playgrounds, and I’ve updated my Google Map with the 19 that are still standing today. The designs of these playgrounds were done between 1979 and 1993 when the HDB took it upon themselves to create and build their own playspaces as part of the public housing estate. Many of the designs were inspired by local culture, and took on a secondary role of becoming visual icons for Singaporeans.

Today’s playground are more ‘modern’ and were designed overseas, but I think most of us still reminisce the time when our playgrounds had sand to play in. To help Justin with his project, check out his post here.
