Sun Plaza Park in Tampines Avenue 7 has a new inclusive playground, themed after the various methods of seed dispersal, that features Singapore’s first wheelchair-accessible slide.

The playground is designed with barrier-free routes and equipment like slides and swings that are accessible to all users, including those in wheelchairs. Bright colours are used for the equipment and surfaces to support those with low vision.

The park was installed through a collaboration between the National Parks Board (NParks) and the Magical Bridge Foundation, a California-based non-profit organisation that focuses on designing inclusive playgrounds.
