Bishan Clock Playground

Turn back the clock at this whimsical playground in Bishan. A stone’s throw away from the neighbourhood bus interchange, the fairytale-inspired clock playground features brightly-coloured tiles – albeit faded – and bold curvatures. It’s decked with ladders to take you behind the giant cuckoo clock, and a terrazzo slide that continues into the sandpit, making it one of the few sandpit playgrounds to exist in Singapore today. It was likely built in the early 80s when Bishan was undergoing developments to become a new town.
