How many of you have spent hours of your childhood playing in these sand-based playgrounds with local-styled designs? Many of them, built in the late seventies, are the works of Khor Ean Ghee (born 1935), the former in-house designer of the Housing and Development Board (HDB). The memories of these playgrounds are precious to a whole generation of Singaporeans born between the seventies and eighties. Today, most of them were demolished, with only a few of them forgotten in the corners of the old estates. …

This is so very nostalgic. Wonderful walk down memory lane of what playgrounds used to be like in my days.
