West Coast Park

As Miss May gets older we have been able to expand on our repertoire of Sunday activities to take advantage the parks and open spaces Singapore has to offer.  West Coast Park with it's 3 Adventure Playgrounds is a particularly good option for families with kids of different ages and therefor a wider range of "requirements" for a day out.

HOW TO GET THERE...The adventure playground itself is located right near the McDonalds (any taxi driver will know the spot), if you are driving take the West Coast Park way and look out for the McDonalds + Car Park.

Being near the water you might brave a mid-morning arrival with the view to enjoying a picnic lunch at the nearby kite park.  We arrived early (I sound like a broken record) and enjoyed a mid morning tea break on our picnic blanket.

The toddlers playground featured a boat to climb around on and lots of sand to play in so we were happy!  The other areas for the older kids looked AWESOME... a real bone-breaking opportunity!  Climbers will LOVE IT!!

We also walked over to the water and had a little look... for boys who love big boats this is a nice side-activity.

We had a great time at West Coast Park but just a couple of THINGS to REMEMBER before you leave...
- Be Prepared!  Once you get there, you have few options in regard to shops, outlets etc... for me this is code for "have a really good cuppa before you leave cos you wont find one there"!
- Take: Picnic Rug (even if you dont intend on enjoying a picnic - there are benches but it's better to 'cop a spot on the edge of the playground)
- Take: Food (unless you are happy with McDonalds)
- Take: Water + Sunscreen - there is limited shade and despite the sea breeze little ones will get hot
- Take: Sand Play equipment.  We did not take this but Miss May has a work-around... "borrowing" from others!!!

Enjoy!
