What to do at Admiralty Park Playground
The most exciting and iconic feature of Admiralty Park Playground is its slides. In fact, there are 26 slides at the playground, crowning it the park with the most number of slides in Singapore! ? The first play area is known as the Junior Play area and is located closest to the junction of Woodlands Avenue 5 and Riverside Road. It is best suited for younger children and toddlers because of its large area, leaving plenty of room for running around.
There are tube and open surfaced slides as well as cargo nets hung around blue tubes meant for climbing up and down the sloped terrain. ? Kids can also use climbing poles and footholds embedded in the slopes to hike up the slopes!
One of the highlights of the Junior area is Singapore's first family slide. It’s actually designed to be wide enough to accommodate up to a family of four sliding down at the same time! ?But don’t worry because the slide is smooth and gentle enough to ensure you won’t go speeding off the slide.
Another area you can explore is called Adenventure Play which has so many exciting things to do! If you’re an adventurous soul, you’ll love this section of the playground. ? Among the attractions here are two long, metallic tube slides that start from the top tier of the terraced slopes. There's so much fun to be had with these Double Barrel Slides which are about 23 metres long and 9 metres tall making it one of the longest and tallest tube slides in a public park in Singapore.
There’s also a zipline feature that lets you sit on a suspended disk and get pushed around a small circumference. It’s fun and very refreshing considering its at the top of the park where you can see everything down below!
P.S. Do be careful on the zipline as there are no safety straps or personel manning the area!
