Free Fun for All
Spending your recreational time doesn’t need to break your bank. All you need is a dash of creativity, an open and optimistic mind and a location that’s absolutely free. Talking of a free location, if you want a place other than your home or your friend’s house then you might want to consider going to the park. Now why look any farther than Jurong Central Park?
Located at Jalan Boon Lay junction with Boon Lay Way, this 8-hectare park has many to offer for a fun-filled day without costing a dime. It is the perfect place to be during a bright, sunny day. You could hang out with friends here and have endless conversations about anything under the sun. Or if you’d rather be on your own then you could sit by the shade of the trees and enjoy the serenity afforded by the verdant landscape.
And if you’re one of those with an artistic pursuit then let the scenic greenery of Jurong Central Park be the subject of your art. Using it as an inspiration, you could enhance your painting skills as you translate the natural beauty of the park into your blank canvass. You could also harness your amateur skills in photography as you snap a shot of the wonders of nature unfolding before your eyes.
Jurong Central Park also happens to be the first in the nation to have life-sized board-game features like the popular kid’s game Snakes and Ladders. In addition to this the park also features the Dice tower and the Ludo Garden. To add more whimsy to the life-sized board-games, several plants including Calathea lutea and Raphis excelsa are grown in the play area. This way, players get to enjoy the games as if it’s a scene right off a page from Alice in Wonderland.
This park is also an ideal venue to stay in shape as it houses fitness stations with exercise equipment available. You could also of course walk, jog, or run around the park for some good dose of cardio. And after all that sweating, you could even make use of the available outdoor shower facilities.
And to end a perfect day at this park, you could bask in the beauty of its wetland where several aquatic plants and wildlife species can be found.
