Playground Project 1
These are the playground that we had taken in Tampines. For a more accurate report, we had also spent time playing in them and experience what these playgrounds have to offer the children.
For the first playground, there are two good points about it, firstly, the playground is very safe for children to play in, this can be seen from the map on the floor, which prevents children from getting injuries. Secondly, it has facilities that allow children to think while playing. There are also two bad points about it. Firstly, it has only two colours, which made the whole playground look boring, and would not attract children to play in it. Secondly, it has too little things to play with, and children would get bored of it after a few times.

For the second playground, there are two good points. Firstly, it has a variety of things to play with, and children would still go there after a long time. Secondly, it is brightly coloured, it not only attracts children, it also makes children who are playing in it feel joyful. It also has two bad points. Firstly, its facilities had rusted due to the sun and rain, this does only make children to avoid playing in it, it sometimes put children in danger. Secondly, it does not have a mapped floor, which puts children in danger too.

As for the last playground that we went to, it has also two good points. Firstly, it has a lot of things to play with, and even things my team and I had not seen before besides that, they also included a small area for rock climbing, which is very rarely seen in normal playgrounds. Secondly, it also has a lot of colours and interactive areas, which attracted many preschool children to play in. However, there were two bad points. Firstly, some of its facilities are very challenging, it might be quite easy for us, but becomes dangerous when it comes to smaller children or even toddlers. Secondly, it has a very small area to walk on the bars and ladders, these might act as a threat when there are many children playing on it.

With these good points and bad points of these playgrounds, we have decided to work on a playground for children that suffers from emotional trauma. , in which specifically, blood phobia.
