«Opened on Children’s Day, 1 October 2007, the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden is Asia’s first garden dedicated to children. It aims to provide a place for children to learn, play and explore amidst nature. Developed along the theme of ‘All Life on Earth Depends on Plants’, the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden aims to educate and instil love for nature in children through interactive installations and fun-filled activities.
The 2-hectare sized Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden is packed with many interesting features and stations, such as the Sensory Garden which let children learn about nature through engaging of their senses like their sense of smell and touch. The many programmes and activities available at the Children’s Garden offer an enriching journey of nature discovery for the children.
NParks has announced that the Children’s Garden will be doubling its current size with a new 2-hectare extension that includes new attractions geared towards children up to 14 years old. When open to the public in 2018, the children will get to learn about a range of eco-systems such as rainforest and marsh habitats, and even a farm. Key amenities in the existing Children’s Garden will also be upgraded to support and complement the range of activities that will be found in the upcoming extension.»
