A bold tribute to place and play. Inspired by Yew Tee’s industrial past – its name meaning “oil pond” in Teochew – this playground reimagines barrel-shaped forms as vibrant play structure and community icons. Children climb, slide, and explore, with inclusive features and shaded seating making it a welcome space for all. More than just a playground, it is a place where history and play intersect.
