Jurong Park

I'm not sure if the park is called "Jurong Park" but since it is just opposite Jurong Point, no harm calling it "Jurong Park" for the convenience of my post. :)

We didn't know where to bring Jae in the evening after woke up from her afternoon nap. Then Clement said he remembered reading somewhere that there was a park right opposite Jurong Point that has a giant snake and ladder there. Both of us had no idea where the park was nor had seen it but we still hopped on the MRT to Boon Lay Station in search of the park.

When the train approached Boon Lay Station, we realised that we could see the park from the MRT! We must have been so preoccuied with squeezing our way out of the train that we didn't take time to notice THE OTHER SIDE of the train. So we alighted, crossed an overhead bridge and there we were at the "Jurong Park".



It was a lovely breezy evening. A perfect evening for outdoor activity. We should have brought Jaimie's little bicycle as the park was very, very spacious. The playground, to our disappointment, was meant for much bigger kids. Jaimie was usually very adventurous when it comes to slides but she was did not dare to go down the quite steep and long slides.


There was plenty of sand pits. A number of children were building sand castles.

There wasn't much she could play so she just ran wild on the grass with Clement, playing "catching". Jaimie had lots of fun running and had fun just from running.

The park is a popular weekend gathering place for the foreign workers. Jurong Point is, needless to say, jam packed with people. Perhaps the next time we'll visit the park in the morning to avoid the crowd.

>Oh.. about the "snake and ladder", we saw neither snake nor ladder but you can still play "Snake and ladder" with all the giant numbers that were painted around the park.
