Guide To Admiralty Park Playground: 26 Slides For Kids Of All Ages

Admiralty Park Playground is a free outdoor playground in Singapore with climbing nets, swings and 26 different slides, including the longest outdoor slide in Singapore!

Admiralty Park Playground is one of the best free outdoor playgrounds for kids who love slides! This children’s playground truly caters to ALL ages, offering everything from toddler playgrounds for 2-year-olds to long tunnel slides for tweens.

Older kids will love the Family Terracing play area, which caters to five to 12-year-olds while younger kids can dash to the Junior play area designed for two to five-year-olds–a great free activity with kids in Singapore! Here are the key highlights of Admiralty Park Playground, plus our top tips and key info on how to get to Admiralty Park in Woodlands.

Admiralty Park Playground zones: 26 slides, swings & climbing

Singapore has lots of parks with slides, but the Admiralty Park playground boasts a slide that’s 34 metres long. The Curved Roller Slide may not be the fastest slide in this Woodlands park, but so far, it is the longest outdoor slide in a public park.

Admiralty Park makes clever use of Woodland’s hilly terrain. Here, you’ll find the highest number of slides in one area in Singapore: a total of 26 slides scattered across Admiralty Park Playground! Look out for five different types of slides.

There are open-side slides, closed-in tube tunnel slides, curved roller slides, straight roller slides, and huge wide metal slides where the whole family can slide down at the same time! There are three play areas at Admiralty Park, ‘Adventure Play’, ‘Family Terracing Play’ and ‘Junior Play’, and not forgetting, a nature play area.

Junior Play at Admiralty Park Playground

Best for: 2 to 5-year-olds

Junior Play is aimed at 2 to 5-year-olds and is a riot of fun with enclosed lime green tube slides wedged into a hill, plus metallic open slides of varying heights, bridges, hillocks and tunnels. To keep little ones safe, little ones can climb cargo nets instead of steps to reach the slides. There are also fun slopes marked with footholds to climb up to the slides.

A highlight of the Junior Play area at Admiralty Park Playground is Singapore’s first family slide. This slide is wide enough to accommodate a family of four sliding down at the same time!

Where: Junior Play is located closest to the junction of Woodlands Avenue 5 and Riverside Road.

Inclusive Swing at Admiralty Park Playground:

We loved that there was an Inclusive Playground at the Junior Play area with a swing for wheelchair users only. This wheelchair swing has hand ropes for the user to swing themselves back and forth, plus an inclusive blue seated merry-go-round with a driving wheel to go faster or slower as you please.

First Expression Swing in Singapore:

There are plenty of swings at Admiralty Park Playground too. We LOVED the Expression Swing, located at the Junior Play area (a bucket seat and regular seat on the same swing). No more pushing your little one endlessly by standing behind them – now parents can sit on a swing and swing their little ones automatically as they join in the fun!

Sandpits for sensory play:

Admiralty Park children’s playground also has two other sets of swings for bigger kids. There are many areas surrounding the playground that are filled with sand so although you are heading to a park, don’t forget to pack some beach toys!

Family Terracing Play at Admiralty Park Playground

Best for: 5 to 12-year-olds

Admiralty Park Playground’s Family Terracing Play area is geared towards older kids. Two long, very high double barrel metallic tube slides command Admiralty Park playground with a smart enclosed cargo net to climb back to the top.

These Double Barrel Tube Slides (approximately 23 metres long and 9 metres tall) are the longest tube slides in a public park in Singapore so you can imagine the speeds kids go whizzing down them! Look out for fun yellow suspension bridges that connect the Family Terracing Play area at Admiralty Park Playground.

Flying Fox (update: currently closed): 

At the top of the hill of Admiralty Park Playground, you’ll find a flying fox (currently closed) that whizzes around a circle and it is a hit with the older kids. You can’t see this from the entrance of Admiralty Park, so you’ll need to climb up the hill to find it.

Adventure Play at Admiralty Park Playground

Best for: All ages (from 3 to 12)

The Adventure Play section of Admiralty Park Playground consists of two sets of roller slides – one goes straight down the hill for the thrill-seekers (a 32-metre long High Adventure Roller Slide), the other roller slide meanders in curves down the hill and is 34 metres long. The rollers actually slow the slide down so kids going down on their bottoms will need to pull themselves down to build up a bit of speed.

Pro tip: It’s much faster if you squat so that your feet are on the rollers!

Nature Area at Admiralty Park

The nature area is the more rustic portion of Admiralty Park. Located to the North of Admiralty Park playground, the nature area is perfect for a walk or a jog or simply to unwind after the kiddos have had their fun at the Admiralty Park playground.

Built around a river, Sungei Cina, the Nature Area offers the opportunity to walk amongst an increased diversity of species in the secondary forest, mangrove, riverine and open grassland habitats.

Boardwalk, bridges and viewing platform:

There are three bridges located within the nature area which allows visitors to cross over to either side of the river bank whenever they like. Cross over to the west side for canopy trees or head up north to check out the mangrove boardwalk and viewing platform to get that little bit closer to nature. Plus, look out for outdoor classrooms where you can learn more about the more than 100 species of plants and animals that dwell within the forest.

Food At Admiralty Park

Sadly, the restaurant at Admiralty Park, Shiok Garden Hotpot & BBQ Buffet, has now closed. So, your best bet for food would be to walk back to Woodlands MRT, where you can choose from a plethora of F&B options at Causeway Point.

Sassy Mama tips for Admiralty Park Playground:

• Bring water bottles
• Wear suncream and hats – there’s some shade from trees at Admiralty Park, but best be sun safe!
• Bring snacks – kiddos get hungry fast with all that running and sliding!
• Bring beach toys – kids will have tons of fun playing in the sand as well as the rest of Admiralty Park Playground.
• The great thing about this free outdoor park is the variety of slides for different ages but these are spread out in different areas. If you have multiple kids who will want to explore different play areas, it’s best to come with help to watch the kids play in different sections of Admiralty Park.
• Different sections of the playground may be under maintenance or closed.
