A rare sight sometimes inwards SEA

Aside from the typical listing of things to run across inwards Asia, if you lot are traveling (or thinking most traveling) amongst children nether 10 years of age, chances are at some indicate you’ll last desperate for a bully outdoor playground.  This was a major subject during our travels amongst our two pre-schoolers inwards tow every bit nosotros travelled through ix countries inwards SEA final year.   Visits to ancient temples, breath-taking beaches, bustling markets, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, non to cry the countless hours spent on buses, trains, as well as planes were no stand upward for for the pleasance that swings as well as monkey bars could offering our kids!   But sadly the notion of play is non every bit readily indulged inwards developing countries where poverty as well as survival are the over-riding themes for children as well as their families.  While fun, well-maintained purpose-built outdoor play spaces were rare luxuries, nosotros did come upward across a few gems that we’d highly recommend for a see if you lot spill out to uncovering yourselves inwards the area—the kiddies would last happy!



Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia



Tucked inwards a bag of the KLCC Park located at raise of the Suria KLCC Centre which includes the world-famous Petronas Towers, you lot volition uncovering this large free purpose-built play ground, consummate amongst well-maintained pulverisation coated equipment as well as numerous sets of swings.  There’s also an adjoining H2O commons for the kiddies only, which is also free.  This is likely our favourite commons inwards SEA—it’s terrific!  


As you lot larn out the shopping centre, follow the springtime about to the left mitt side, yesteryear the bridge.  The H2O commons is unopen on Mondays.  Be certain to remain off the grassy areas though, or you lot jeopardy beingness 'whistled' at yesteryear the security!


Bangkok, Thailand

Amidst the hustle as well as bustle of Bangkok, Lumpini Park is a existent haven.  And inside its to a greater extent than than 500,000 foursquare metres of light-green space, exists a terrific playground expanse for the kids.  There’s fifty-fifty a gear upward clean laid of restrooms nearby every bit good every bit a H2O springtime too.

A overnice recess from the hustle as well as bustle.




Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Between its poverty as well as the close annihilation of its people yesteryear the Central Khmer Rouge, finding a proper playground inwards Kingdom of Cambodia was close unheard of.  That is, until nosotros came to Phnom Penh.  Located at the base of operations of Wat Phnom Park close the Riverfront, this good appointed play Blue Planet gets busy inwards the slowly afternoon when the kids complete from their twenty-four hours at school.

One of the few playgrounds nosotros constitute inwards Cambodia--and it was a expert 1 too!




Candikuning (Bali), Indonesia

Despite the wonderful tropical scenery, the lush works life as well as fauna, the plentiful beaches as well as the historic temples as well as architecture, finding a expert ol’playground was close impossible during our fourth dimension inwards Bali.  Then unexpectedly every bit nosotros were driving along on the southward eastern side of the isle exterior of Candikuning, nosotros came across it.  The equipment was non every bit good maintained every bit it should convey been, but it was all the same a bully house for a much needed play, consummate amongst giant swing as well as a trampoline.  


Candikuning is located but about 90minute crusade from Kuta.  This commons was located on the principal highway but yesteryear the marketplace position earlier you lot descend towards the lake.





Hong Kong, China

Surprisingly (or mayhap non as well as thence much given its massive urbanisation) nosotros constitute lots of actually expert playgrounds throughout the residential areas of Hong Kong, peculiarly inwards the mid-levels of Kowloon as well as fifty-fifty on The Peak.  Most of them serve every bit the neighbourhood play infinite for the children of the surrounding high ascent apartments.  But the fairly novel playground laid inwards the Kowloon City Park was the primo of the bunch, consummate amongst commercial character ‘Little Tikes’ equipment from the USA. 






Manila, Philippines

The Children’s Playground located inside the historic Rizal Park inwards primal Manila was a welcome sight for our children as well as non to last missed!  It was late renovated amongst the assistance of the architectural students of the academy as well as clearly strives to cause the imagination of all who enter.  Giant dinosaurs, cubby houses inside huge shoes, slides inwards a kaleidoscope of colours as well as swings a enough tin all last found, together amongst a snack bar, café tables as well as restrooms, behind a secure perimeter debate which shields the immature ones from the nearby traffic as well as from running off.  


There is a nominal entrance fee to larn inwards this park, as well as at that spot is exclusively 1 entrance point.

Nuwara Eliya, Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is some other Blue Planet struggling amongst both rebuilding after their recent war, every bit good every bit amongst their poverty level.  Not surprisingly, playgrounds are difficult to come upward by.  The Children’s Park inwards Nuwara Eliya was 1 of the few that nosotros came across during our thirty days inwards the country.  While the equipment was poorly maintained, it was all the same overnice for the kids to last able to run most freely on grass.  The botanical gardens inside which the playground is locate is good worth a see too.    


There is a nominal entrance fee for the botanical gardens.

About every bit expert every bit you lot are going to larn far Sri Lanka for a playground.

And if you lot spill out to last inwards India...
Margo, (Goa) India
In the three months that nosotros spent traveling throughout southern India, nosotros exclusively came across a handful of playgrounds.  Sadly inwards most cases, they were barely functional, amongst broken swings as well as slides.  The best 1 worth a cry is the 1 located inwards the Municipal Park inwards the carry hub metropolis of Margo inwards the province of Goa.  Luckily at that spot are many entertainment parks to last constitute inwards India, to the please of the children (more on this inwards a afterward post).


Note that this playground is exclusively opened upward after 5pm.






These are our overstep picks for each of these countries, although at that spot were runners-up inwards a few cases too, piece inwards others, it was literally the exclusively playground nosotros constitute inwards our entire fourth dimension inwards the country!




Unfortunately nosotros never came across whatever 'traditional' playgrounds (ie non entertainment parks) inwards Vietnam that were worth a mention, although at that spot were lots of other activities for immature children available.

Do you lot convey whatever favourite playgrounds inwards SEA that you'd similar to share?  Give us the details inwards the comments section!
