Join us in celebrating the playgrounds that brought communities together and continue to spark joy across all ages.
Led by heritage enthusiast and photographer Jerome Lim, the programme begins with a sharing session on Singapore’s playground heritage as we rediscover the playgrounds that have shaped generations of Singaporeans. Thereafter, take a tour of the Museum’s first intergenerational playground, A Whale of a Tale, to learn how playgrounds from the past inspired its design elements. Finally, take a fun trip to neighbourhood playgrounds in Singapore. Participants will discover captivating stories and little-known facts about these play spaces that hold a special place in the collective memory of the local community.
This programme is held in conjunction with the launch of the Museum’s playground, A Whale of a Tale. Recommended for participants aged 13 years and above.
All participants are advised to wear comfortable footwear and bring an umbrella or raincoat in the event of inclement weather. One-way transport will be provided from the Museum to the playground locations, and the programme will end at Sembawang Park.
Photographs taken during the programme may be used in the Museum’s publicity materials.
