Jacob Ballas Children's Garden Outing
It was DS's childcare holiday. So we decide to make a trip to Jacob Ballas Children's Garden. It was a hit with DS. The place have a great variety of things to play with and lots of room to run and explore. It was great for mummy too as there is plenty of beautiful trees and flowers with clear signs and little bits of information around the garden to make the trip an educational one for both of us. 
The visitor centre of the park have a very interesting sculpture in the shape of a tree.
We were greeted with the view of the water play area.
I am impressed to see so many plants with nice big signs.
The real highlight of the trip is however this....the tree house. 
Other than the tree house, there is also a suspension bridge and waterfall with a cave. For more pictures of the garden check out
Thanks for sharing :)

Nice little hang-out for kids
I brought my daughter to the garden on her 2-year-old birthday last month. She enjoyed it! Her first destination was the waterplay hence before she got to roam around the garden, she was all wet. There was also a little section that teach photosyntheis process where you can turn the wheels that control different components required for the process (eg sunlight, water, etc). Well my gal does not understand what they are, but she had fun turning water sprinkle on! The tree house was another highlight - the slide. Er, I know i am not suppose to be the one doing it, but my gal wanted to play and was so scared. I held on to her and brough her down :p Thank God it was a weekday so nobody stare at me :)
Nice Pix
So this is the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden my friend has been telling me. Initially I had no clue what's it.
Children's Garden!
Thanks Mintcc!
This is a really good recommendation!
Went there for the first time today and my 2.5 yo DS really enjoyed himself! The place is safe enough for us to give him free rein to run around and run he did! We managed to go around probably 3/4 of the Garden in about 30 minutes and he just loved the tree house slides! As today is a public holiday, there were many parents with kids there and the place was quite crowded at the play areas. But it was wonderfully shady with lots of cool resting places hence it wasn't too bad for the adults too. The water-play area was closed for repairs but this was fine with us as we did not want DS to do water-play today. It will be hard to control him if the water was on!
So thank you very much for the wonderful pictures or else we would not have known of this wonderful place that is so worth visiting!
mathsparks, glad your ds
mathsparks, glad your ds likes the place. Yes, pity only kids can go...luckily we adults need to accompany the kids hee.
amylqf, agree it is kind of small especially when compared to the neighbouring Botanical Gardens. I quite like it that way though cause we don't have to walk that much. They kind of squeeze lots of things so there is some thing different to see without walking very far.
tree nymph, sunset_dae, LKVM, care mom, hope your kids will enjoy the place :)
Great photos

Nice place! thanks for recommending! This place looks interesting!
mintcc, Thanks for the
mintcc,
Thanks for the review. We went there only once when the park just opened and there wasn't many interesting 'highlights', like the water play and the tree house. In addition, the place is not big, therefore we didn't think that the Park is that interesting.
However, after reading your post, it seems like I have to bring the kids there again soon!
