I'm new to singapore and am looking for activities for two busy toddler boys. Are there parks, toddler gyms or toddler pools you can recommend?
Thanks,
D:)

Sori,
I mean Watten instead of Hua Guan
Watten is district 10 along Dunearn Road
Also lovely parks around the reservoirs,
Macritchie Central Singapore
Piece North Singapore
and the famous bird sanctuary of
Sungei Buloh in the far north of Singapore
The Bukit Timah reserve is well worth a visit.
And of course a keen eye is to be kept on the toddler to make sure he/she is not out of sight!
Its darn hard even to locate lost adults, what more young ones.Have fun

Gymboree is a toddler care cenre at Tanglin Mall.
They have a toddler friendly gym. But its run on a commercial basis.
Don't know of any public toddler friendly gym places and if there are your child's health may need watching as there would be a less stringent eye on the other kids who are there. Places like Gymboree would have quite strict enforcement standards.

Most of the social clubs in Singapore would have a child pool. So would publicc facilities like the Toa Payoh Swimming complex. But pools specifically for toddlers are far and few between. Best to use a kids pool and use floaties, on the arms or around the waist to keep your tod floating.

If you can, try to go for an older development. The units and the facilities are usually much larger, most of the new developments are like shoeboxes.
