Sembawang Park Battleship Playground is one interesting playground, I must say. I admit I was a tad bit excited to try it out. There is 4 parts to the playground. The entrances are unique as the only to go up is to climb. There is not any stairs or ramps, only rock climbing walls, a metal ladder and a netted hole (shown in the second picture). What interest me most is the slides. The highest elements in the playground. The slides interlock with one another instead of going into one direction. I can incorporate this in my design as my play area involve slides. I think the height and direction of the slides is what interest me. It is not just a typical flat slide. Also, plus point for the shade. People can slide comfortably without worrying about the weather.

From the looks of it, it is an old playground. It is a simple yet interesting. Unfortunately, I could not play because there were some filming going on. What makes it interesting is the body of the dragon. I like how there is colours instead of one solid colour to make it seem appear more playful. Since it is an old playground, the slides are of an old kind. A straight slide. I would say it is not very fun as the slide is simple and ride is short. For my play area,  I think I will incorporate the dragon's body. It looks fun and playful.
