Playground Visit!

• Uses a EPDM flooring as a shock absorbent flooring. 
• Allows for numerous people to use at any time.
• No safety harness or need for belaying.
• Approachable from all angles.
• Allows for groups of people to sit on the spacenet to chit-chat.

• No shock absorbent flooring.
• For single use per obstacle.
• Harness is needed for safety protocol. 
• One way entrance and liner path.

Reflection from playground:

1. Play area need not be rigid. It can change as the users goes through it to create for a more interesting and ever-changing experience.
2. Parts of the play area can be used as a safety catch in case someone falls.
3. Different type of play area might require different safety protocols.
4. Allowing a set number of people at certain area might create for different emotions and experience.

Detailed Part Model

 Model of revised part of site. This design allows the play area to move as the users are playing on it.

PASIR RIS PARK

Main playground

a polygon-like structure with symmetrical placing of nets. The holes in the net may be too small for those above 9. It has an interesting shape and form. However, the angle of the slide is not "good" as it is hard for kids to slide down.

It has a rather interesting concept, users can go inside, from the side or climb to the top. The downside is that it is impossible to stand unless your head comes out the hole. One way to improve is to connect this to a slide or another structure as it is pointless with the way it is formed

This structure is dangerous as the 'steps' are too high up and the gap are too far apart. This can be used for users aged 10 above but below that, it's deemed hard.

This part is loved by many, but the structure is quite old. If I were to put this in my park it is so that users would be able to travel from one side of the park to the other with ease.

I like the concept of the bridge as the floors are made of rubber and you can bounce on the bridge while crossing it. It could however be connected to another structure.

The spacenet was a challenge. Although the signs says below 12, I think that any age would be acceptable. the holes between each nets are rather wide. This would be a great addition to my park if I were to want to play with height.

I think the Pasir Ris Park's playground has a lot to offer and I think I can incorporate some of the designs and structures to my park to make it better.

Trampoline park and Waterfront park. Foo Li Ying 1401334F

This trampoline park is very small to me and there are these nets that protects the users of the trampolines. This trampoline park is very boring to me and its just trampolines and trampolines. So I would make obstacles to make it more challenging instead of just jumping and jumping.

Next is this waterfront park. This park has all these house looking things where people can climb up using the nets from different openings and different kinds of obstacles to climb up to the mini houses. They are all linked to each other and the bridge all uses metal chains and ropes to link them up. Also when we go into the house the openings take up quite a bit of space and people may fall into it. This park is not opened fully as some of the obstacles are still not able to be used and one of the bridge still has the orange red barrier to prevent people from going in.

MegaZip @ Sentosa.

Safety harness!

High rope course.

Trying outttttt ClimbMax! (Was raining tho'..)

(yes, he's using phone.... -,-)

ParaJump!

Zipline!

Before we get to play, we are weighed and placed in harness at the ticketing booth. Then we hopped onto buggy to get to MegaZip tower.

ClimbMax:

• There are 3 different levels; each level with 12 obstacles. 
• Level 1 - 5m off ground.
• Level 2 - 10m off ground.
• Level 3 - 15m off ground.
• "There's no returning when you got stuck in the middle of the level" – according to the instructor... (I think he was trying to scare me???)
• However, when I looked around, there really isn't any "express" way to get back. It's either you finish the rest of the obstacles or you'll have to go back via the way you came. (That's really bad, especially when people really "chicken out" at certain obstacles.)  

MegaZip:

• There are 3 cables enabling 3 people to ride alongside you. 
• Each cable allows 2 people to ride together; as long as both are weighed under 130kg.
• The ride lasts approximately 50 seconds. 
• The heavier person will get zipped down faster!!
• As we zipped, we get to see the overview of Siloso beach; absolutely breathtaking!
• It's close to 500m in length and suspended ~80m above the ground. 
• You are propelled on approximately 30 degree decent down over treetops and Siloso beach. 
• The ride concludes with us coming to rest in a large and secure netted area where you are 'de-cabled'.

ParaJump:

• Replicate the feeling of a freefall parachute jump from 16m off ground.
• Custom made safety wire and harness developed in the UK. 
• The whole process is very fast.
• It feels like jumping off building tho'.... ;-)
• I think that 16m off ground is still not exciting enough! I think it should be ~30m off ground!! ;-)

NorthFace (Didn't get to try this, too broke, $$$$$):

• A 16m rock climbing wall with 3 different routes to the top.

1:100 MODEL

4 types of obstacles per section.

1st part of the section: users have to climb thru' these.

 2nd part of the section: user have to walk on the log first,
