Hello all,
My 2 year old absolutely loves swings. Besides Watten Park, does anyone know any other public (not private
condo or HDB) playground that has a swing-preferably the one with the bucket seat?
Thanks

I;ve actually never seen swings in the playgrounds here.
Is Watten Park a good park for 2 year olds? We;ve never been so am curious to know what other things they have in the playground.
Thanks!

Hoover Park (off Jln. Jurong Kechil) has swings with both bucket and normal seat. My 7-months-old loves it!

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve has a park, behind the Le Wood
condo, opposite........ I think it's Ikea.
Just up the road from Watten, 5-10min by car.

On Yishun there's a hill near the old location of the Yishun Library.
There are 2 swings, 4 see-saws, and 2 other things.

Pasir Ris park is great when it's not to crowded. 2/3 bucket swings available if memory serves...weekday evenings are a good time to go - not too packed....

Any one know how far Pasir Ris Park is from Tanglin Mall (Upper Orchard). We don't drive so have no clue about distance - we only know by how much taxis costs. Is it closer or further than West Coast Park which we love!

The first thing we got when we arrived here is a good old fashion large paper map of Singapore, pin it on your wall and you quickly get the feel of where everything is and how far they are.
Log onto google maps and input your location and destination it will come up with distances etc.

Swings at Goldhill Avenue playground, just off Bukit Timah near Chancery Lane / Anglo Chinese School. Not sure what you mean by bucket style, but these are rubber seated and my 2 year old is fine in them by herself. Quite a quiet playground, but not very large (just 2 swings).
