“Bright colors and dynamic symbols!” That’s what first strikes you as we arrive at Sun Plaza Park. This 0.6-hectare park is a vibrant hub in Tampines. It’s a place for social and cultural interactions. Let me tell you more about this unique space.
Sun Plaza Park gets its name from the Tampines Tree. This reminds visitors that Tampines was once full of Tempinis trees. Locals even called this area the residential Orchard Road.
The heart of Sun Plaza Park is the circular Sun Plaza. A prominent sun motif sits in the plaza’s center. This area can hold 700 people. It serves as an activity core for the park. The Sun Plaza hosts outdoor concerts and exhibitions. Band performers and family functions also use this space.
One distinguishing feature is the Sense Discovery Garden. It features interactive play stations. These stations include texture walks and talking tubes. There are also chimes and fragrance stations. A tumbler and organic texture walk engage the senses. Kids love the recessed wordings and symbols. A ladder wall and sliding beads add to the fun. A herbal wall and “toes” provide intriguing sensations.
