Week of parks

We have been visiting parks this week.

On Tuesday, I brought B to Jacob Ballas Children's Garden to check the place out. The tree house was great. There were two slides of varying heights and B loved them.

He sat on my lap each time and would keep asking for more. That was the first place we went to and played until a troupe of PCF preschoolers came by. No pics of him coming down the slide. Pity.

Next we went to the suspension bridge. It was rather fun for B who has never experienced anything like it before. It rocked quite a bit when I got on. Though he was a little apprehensive at first, he did walk half the bridge on his own.

There is a little pond in this garden and there was ample variety pond life there - fish, plants and insects.

Here is B checking out his own reflection in one of the trough-like thingys.

Today, we went to Bishan park. I was researching parks suitable for B and K. At the NParks website, here was the map I found of Bishan Park. Was very excited that there was a water playground. Of course, when I arrived I found that it was still under construction. I must have missed that bit of info somehow. And rechecking the site, I am still missing it. :s

It took about 40mins of to and fro from one section to another before we unloaded for the final time to bring B to a playground. At this point, any playground would do.

Here is the playground without the usual slides. But he used the domes as slides. Are they meant to be?

And I finally found a bucket swing! Since K's time I have been searching for one!

He found some stones and would lean out of this hole and throw them onto the floor. Then he'd run around the low wall to the other side of the hole to pick it up and then repeat it again.
