Park Walker - Tampines Central Park (2020 0730)
Address: Tampines Street 82
Opened in the 1980s, green spaces such as Tampines Central Park were one of the town planning innovations introduced by the Housing & Development Board (HDB)
Among the distinguishing features of this park are the fruit-themed playgrounds in the shapes of mangosteens and watermelon slices. Designed by HDB architect Ms Lee-Loy Kwee Wah, they were inspired by the fruit farms of rural Tampines before the town was developed. These playgrounds are part of the second generation of HDB-designed playgrounds that appeared in the 1980s.
