Exploring the Tampines Boulevard Park of Tampines North

It’s been a while since the park was officially ready, and while the place is just so close by to our home, I only visited it recently. It’s not a very big park but a good size for a short nice jog. 

Butterflies, Bees and Beautiful Flora 

I started off slow at one entrance of the park. I noticed that there are so many different types of flowers around and the colours make the park so beautiful. As I looked at all the different shapes of the flowers and took photos of them, I thought about how I only knew how to draw flowers in one typical way (like a sunflower). Time to take reference!

It’s also probably why there are also so many butterflies, bees and flying insects spotted fluttering around the flowers looking for sweet nectar. If you are like me, and can’t stand flying insects, I don’t think you can sit still at a bench near any flowers/bushes. Your skin will feel itchy, especially under the hot sun. There’s also many millipedes on the grounds which you may accidentally step on and hear a ‘crack’ sound under your foot. My estate had so many of them, and there is still quite a large quantity of them under the blocks. 

Children’s Playground

There’s a beautifully designed play area for the kids! It includes a smaller area with the swings and it also features a sandplay area. I don’t know what you call it but a ‘mini excavator’ is there for children to scoop up the sand. A mini rock climbing wall is also available for the adventurous kiddos. Behind the playground is a water point in which you can quench your thirst after playtime. 

And the others

There is a fitness corner to do light exercises after a run. 

Other features include a colourful mini cycling track, swinging seats, a badminton court and a kid’s music corner. This park has a significant number of facilities and it’s really nice to have it near us.

At 9.30am, the sun was already shining bright and the heat was embracing me. I knew it was time to head home. 😅
