Feedback on Playgrounds in Tampines

Minister Mah Bow Tan
Minister of Tampines GRC

Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,

Feedback on Playgrounds in Tampines


I am Ryan Chew Wenjie from Pasir Ris Secondary school. I am writing to feedback about Playgrounds in Tampines and to suggest on how it can be improved. My school has been doing a project about Playgrounds and how it can be improved. After some time, we found creative and interesting ways of how to improve the playgrounds in Tampines.

Currently, the playgrounds in Tampines don’t really have what a child would really want in a playground.
And most of the playgrounds have spider webs on the monkey bars, children
that notice this, would not want to climb the monkey bar therefore, the playground would not be able to be used to its fullest.
The playgrounds are a little dirty too because of litter and because of the rain. The rain also causes the playground to be wet and children would not be able to play in the playground for quite awhile, waiting for it to dry. The color of the playgrounds are a little boring too, the slides and swings are all the same color. The children would find the playground boring after awhile.

The playground could be improved in ways such as, the monkey bars and the other parts of the playground could be cleaned regularly to remove any dirt or spider webs. The rain is quite a disturbance to the children and this can be stopped by either building the playground under the block or making the playground sheltered and also build a sheltered walkway from the block to the playground. The playground could have more colors too.

These are my feedback and suggestion, thank you for taking time to read this letter.

Yours sincerely,
Ryan

Feedbacks on the playgrounds in Tampines

Minister Mah Bow Tan
Minister of Tampines GRC

Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,

The playground in Tampines is very small and some of them have very dull colours and not much interactive games. Some of them do not even have swings nor see-saws.

I suggest to use bright colours so the children will be excited when they see them and would definitely want to play it. Some of the playground could be improvised by adding some challenging areas for the older kids, for example, a shaky bridge so the kids may cross over it while having fun. Having a trampoline would not be so bad, as most Singaporeans have not tried jumping on it, some of them have not even seen it in front of them, so it will be a new thing for them, something unique.

I have also seen some of the playground and they did not use most of the spaces provided, some have very large spaces between each other. When it rains, the playground will be wet , I suggest building a shelter with unique designs.

There should also be more benches, with shelter, so the parents may sit there supervising their kids. The child may also rest and then continue to play. They can also wait for their parents to pick them up.

Yours Sincerely,
M. Fathullah

Letter to Mr Mah Bow Tan

Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,



Feedback on Playground in Tampines







I am Liew Yu Wei from Pasir Ris Secondary School. I am writing on behalf of my group consisting of Elroy Ng, Ryan Chew, Goh Chin Yong and Fathullah on how to improve on the playgrounds in Tampines.



After some time, we have created a playground that is suitable for children with non-contagious and terminal diseases. Firstly, our playground consists of bright and colorful walls so that these children can feel that there is still hope for them. Secondly, the playground is quite safe as there are lots of cushion balls on the floor. Why not just cushion? Cushion balls are quite well-liked by kids, so cushion balls are to ensure that kids could have really lots of fun. Thirdly, there is a simple maze in the playground with some obstacles which represents one must be able to overcome anything in order to succeed. Fourthly, the playground is build like a castle so as to improve on the third point(able to overcome obstacles so as to ‘conquer’ the castle). This playground should be built indoor. It shall be also the first indoor playground in Tampines.



We came up with this project as we feel that the playgrounds in the neighborhood are a bit outdated and the facilities are inefficient. Firstly, there are lots of cracks which could hurt children. Secondly, colors are dull and paints are dropping off which makes the playground to look unattractive and boring.



Once our playground is build, the colors shall attract kids, the maze shall be educational and most importantly, it gives hope to children with non-contagious and terminal disease.



We hope that you would accept these feedbacks so as to improve the playgrounds in Tampines. Thank You for reading.

Yours sincerely,
Liew Yu Wei
