Feedback about the playgrounds in Tampines

Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,
I am a student from Pasir Ris Secondary School. My group members and I have came up with a research and model about a playground for abused children with emotional scars.

We have researched that music, toys, communication, art, relaxation can help the abused children concentrate on playing and forget about their dark past. Music stimulates the mind and soul. Toys are to let them know that there is someone out there to help and lend them a listening ear. Art helps them to express their feelings in drawings. Like art, communication also helps the child to express their feelings, but in words. Through communication, the child could improve the way they socialise with others. Relaxation can help the child to feel less tensed and carefree. So we have decided to build the playground with extra features such as built-in musical instruments and some whiteboards.

After reflecting about the playgrounds in the neighborhood, I think the
playgrounds are very creative and user friendly. However, the
playgrounds are not well conditioned. There are many graffiti on
the playground so I was wondering whether you would consider my
suggestion of repainting the playground. The features of the
playground could also be more attractive in bright and colourful
colours. I feel that the design of the playground should also be appealing. By
doing this, more children would be attracted to it and would also
enjoy playing in the playground.

I also suggest that we need some playgrounds for the abused children with emotional scars too. However, we do not need to build more playgrounds but instead, we can add some extra features like musical instruments and whiteboard to it. Thank you for taking time reading this feedback. I hope you will look into it.

Yours sincerely,
Shermaine Wee
Student of Pasir Ris Secondary School

We're working on it.
