More than just a play structure, these mosaic-tiled beasts are relics of a bygone era, symbols of community, and tangible links to our childhoods. Designed by HDB\u2019s Mr Khor Ean Ghee in the late 1970s and early 80s, these unique playgrounds were crafted to be instantly recognisable landmarks for each estate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">While many have fallen victim to modernisation, a handful of these magnificent creatures still stand proudly across the island. Visiting them is a perfect opportunity to share stories of \u201cthe good old days\u201d with your children, let them experience a slice of vintage Singapore, and, of course, snap some truly iconic family photos.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"A dragon playground map in singapore.\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"2816\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=1320&amp;q=85 1320w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=1980&amp;q=85 1980w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/3645c4eacc19b1352be6e36e24abf9c5bcd967843bb7d77a69d2d00558801853?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.8333333333333333;contain-intrinsic-size:2816px 1536px\"\/><\/figure>\n<section class=\"_expanded_lwxdk_22\"><button class=\"_title_lwxdk_1\"><\/p>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">6 Dragon Playgrounds to Bring Your Children To<\/p>\n<p><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"18\" height=\"9\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\"><path d=\"M1 1L9 8L17 1\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/p>\n<ol class=\"_list_lwxdk_28\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-iconic-main-dragon-toa-payoh-lorong-6\">1. <!-- -->The Iconic Main Dragon: Toa Payoh Lorong 6<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-baby-dragon-toa-payoh-lorong-1\">2. <!-- -->The Baby Dragon: Toa Payoh Lorong 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-ang-mo-kio-mini-dragon-block-571-ang-mo-kio-avenue-3\">3. <!-- -->The Ang Mo Kio Mini Dragon: Block 571 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-iconic-pelican-with-dragon-head-pipit-road\">4. <!-- -->The Iconic Pelican with Dragon Head: Pipit Road<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-golden-dragon-pasir-ris-park-adventure-playground-\">5. <!-- -->The Golden Dragon: Pasir Ris Park (Adventure Playground)<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_lwxdk_71\"><a class=\"_link_lwxdk_85\" href=\"#the-reimagined-dragon-sembawang-park-battleship-playground-\">6. <!-- -->The Reimagined Dragon: Sembawang Park (Battleship Playground)<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Here are 6 of Singapore\u2019s most beloved (and some modern interpretations of) dragon playgrounds to explore with your little adventurers.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Dragon playground at Toa Payoh Lorong 6\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"635\" height=\"476\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/35bfcd19f1f4ecf7bb648b22eac7a666423f2288141e87524fcb6c7bcf41574c?w=320&amp;q=85 320w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/35bfcd19f1f4ecf7bb648b22eac7a666423f2288141e87524fcb6c7bcf41574c?w=510&amp;q=85 510w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/35bfcd19f1f4ecf7bb648b22eac7a666423f2288141e87524fcb6c7bcf41574c?w=635&amp;q=85 635w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/35bfcd19f1f4ecf7bb648b22eac7a666423f2288141e87524fcb6c7bcf41574c?w=635&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.334033613445378;contain-intrinsic-size:635px 476px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-iconic-main-dragon-toa-payoh-lorong-6\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">The Iconic Main Dragon: Toa Payoh Lorong 6<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">This is the dragon playground.

Located within Pasir Ris Park (NParks), this \u201cgolden dragon\u201d is a huge, contemporary play structure designed with climbing nets, multiple slides, and bridges, all inspired by the mythical creature. While not a mosaic dragon of the 70s, it pays homage to the beloved design and offers a much larger, more adventurous play experience for a wider age range.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_listElement_8nc2s_62\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Address: Pasir Ris Central, Singapore 519639 (within Pasir Ris Park, near Pasir Ris Sports Centre).<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Parking: Ample parking at Car Park B or C within Pasir Ris Park.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Public Transport: 10-minute walk from Pasir Ris MRT.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Nearest Toilet: Public toilets are available within Pasir Ris Park, near the playground and at the Sports Centre.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><a class=\"_externalLinks_8nc2s_81\" href=\"#top\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n<figure class=\"_figure_8nc2s_1\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"_base_12j3k_1\" alt=\"Sembawang Park Playground\" loading=\"lazy\" sizes=\"auto\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/d3eaf173981a8b93d6d7b7a66f2a91a7bc1573ba8d810a77012b2ec707a02d3f?w=330&amp;q=85 330w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/d3eaf173981a8b93d6d7b7a66f2a91a7bc1573ba8d810a77012b2ec707a02d3f?w=530&amp;q=85 530w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/d3eaf173981a8b93d6d7b7a66f2a91a7bc1573ba8d810a77012b2ec707a02d3f?w=660&amp;q=85 660w,https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/d3eaf173981a8b93d6d7b7a66f2a91a7bc1573ba8d810a77012b2ec707a02d3f 1200w\" src=\"https:\/\/cassette.sphdigital.com.sg\/image\/homedecor\/d3eaf173981a8b93d6d7b7a66f2a91a7bc1573ba8d810a77012b2ec707a02d3f?w=660&amp;q=85\" style=\"--custom-aspect-ratio:1.5;contain-intrinsic-size:1200px 800px\"\/><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-reimagined-dragon-sembawang-park-battleship-playground-\" class=\"_subHeading1_b62n6_111 _base_b62n6_1\">The Reimagined Dragon: Sembawang Park (Battleship Playground)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\">Another modern interpretation, this time with a maritime twist. While the main theme of Sembawang Park\u2019s playground is a battleship, it features a colourful, contemporary dragon sculpture integrated into the play area. This dragon is less about climbing and more about visual appeal, offering a photo opportunity and a nod to the iconic heritage. It shows how the dragon motif continues to inspire new playground designs.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"_listElement_8nc2s_62\">\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Address: Sembawang Road, Singapore 759902 (within Sembawang Park).<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Parking: Car parks within Sembawang Park.<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Public Transport: Buses from Sembawang MRT (can be a longer bus ride).<\/li>\n<li class=\"_listItem_8nc2s_67\">Nearest Toilet: Public toilets are available within Sembawang Park<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"_base_1s8rd_1 _default_1s8rd_12\"><a class=\"_externalLinks_8nc2s_81\" href=\"#top\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noreferrer\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.homeanddecor.com.sg\/property\/hdb\/dragon-playgrounds?ref\\u003danchorblocka\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The dragon playground holds a special place in the hearts of many Singaporean parents.
