Editor’s verdict
This is one of the stronger themed HDB playgrounds because the firefighting idea is rooted in the actual history of the site rather than added as decoration. The combination of a large fire engine, station-style tower and toddler area gives it good replay value for children who enjoy pretend rescue missions.
Best bitA memorable local-history theme with substantial pretend and active play.
Keep in mindMostly exposed and not especially close to an MRT station on foot.
The practical stuff
Useful things around the playground
What to expect
Boon Lay Glade pays tribute to the former Jurong Fire Station with a large fire-station-themed playground beside the retained seven-storey hose tower. Children can climb a bright red play fire engine, use fire-station-style towers and poles, take red and yellow slides and try an in-ground trampoline, boulder, seesaws and swings. A smaller toddler area adds a little fire engine and lower play structures away from some of the bigger-kid action.
