Swimming pool with Kids playground?

[mummyjoyce]

MMM:

Heard there is one in Jurong??? At swimming pool rates unlike wild wild wet. Never been there before.

Public pool entry rate. Children will like it; dont have to go to the wet&wild .. too far and expensive for some.

Jurong East, Chua Chu Kang and Sengkang all have slides etc like Wild Wild Wet, but minus the expensive rates of W.W.W. Pay public swimming pool fees, but get to enjoy WWW-lookalike facilities. They all get thumbs up from my family. :celebrate:

The one opposite Chinese Garden MRT is Jurong East, while the one nearer to Pioneer MRT is Jurong West. Hope that helps.

Bingo, smurf! :celebrate:

I been there years back. Find it too cold to play longer. Water was cold. Not too sure how is it in recent years, cos temperature in Singapore getting higher though.

Try it out, have fun!!

Depending on the age of your kids, the one at Jurong East may not be suitable for them. I have been to both, slides are longer at JE. Slides end in a 1-metre pool.

For JW, there is only one slide, but safer for younger kids as it lands in a shallower knee depth pool.

Lazy river at JE is nice and is okay for younger kids.

Yes, both are not that new. If you want a pool with newer facilities, try Sengkang. Okay for younger kids too, though there isn't a lazy river.
