Playgrounds in our estate
There are quite a few playgrounds around our estate. So on Sunday morning, Mike decided that we should do some exploring.
First, we have a regular playground downstairs. We pass by it every day, on our way to the multi-storey car park. Matthew always point to the playground, indicating that he wants to play.
Down at the fitness area, where there is a basketball court, a hardcourt soccer court and a jogging track, there is also a playground. It's quite big. Only thing is that the morning sun makes it very hot to play there in the morning. The better time to be there is the evening. I was just jogging the other day and saw lots of kids playing there.
The third playground is further down the jogging track, next to a skateboard rink. It's smaller than the first two, but it's definitely designed with toddlers in mind. There are steps and bars and a wheel to turn, and of course, not forgetting the slides.
To the end of the track, there is the smallest playground of those we explored that morning and it's shaded from the sun. Matthew had the most fun here. There are steps which Matthew climbed and a wheel to turn, a short tunnel to crawl through, then a slide to come down. There are bars on the sides for the more agile kids. Matthew had a go at it. Well, he could almost do it without our help. Almost. A white cat came to join us. Matthew just kept giggling, pointing at the cat.
Up the stairs, turn turn turn the wheel
Through the tunnel, down the slide. HOORAY!
Hahaha... a cat!
Up the bars I climb!
The last one we found was actually near the market. It is sheltered from sun and rain. This playground was built to cater to LOTS of kids. The "corridors" were wide. Matthew was not too keen to explore this one. He was just contented to sit on the steps, examining the holes in the platform.
Five playgrounds in total. I did not know there were so many playgrounds around our estate.
