COMPARE the playgrounds
Our recommended visit order and comparison table
| Location/Playground | Comments | Equipment | Flooring | |
| 1 | Dakota-Dove | Only one of its kind left that still include swings. The Dakota Estate is slated for redevelopment with its residents required to move out by end 2016. With the uncertain fate of the playground left hanging, we recommend this to be covered first! | 2 Slides, 3 Round Tire Swings | Sand |
| 2 | Ang Mo Kio- Dragon | Big Dragon playgrounds are pretty fun in itself. This one has another playground just right next to it. | 2 Slides, Ribbed body ramp | Rubber mat |
| 3 | Toa Payoh – Dragon | Another Big Dragon playground. Placed third only because of its accessibility and its location compared to the Ang Mo Kio Dragon. | 2 Slides, Ribbed body ramp, 2 spring riders | Sand |
| 4 | Bishan – Clock | The playground features a slide like the others. It is situated next to the Bus interchange and has another small playground right next to it. Probably the most accessible in the list by public transport. | 1 Slide, 2 spring riders | Sand |
| 5 | Pasir Ris – Sampan | Unique in appearance, but perhap not as fun as the Dragons. | 1 Slide, Round tire ladders, Round Tires Climbing pole | Sand |
| 6 | Tampines – Watermelon & Mangosteen | The watermelon features a slide, however all the swings that used to be part of the playground have now become static benches. Its saving grace are the many other playgrounds in the vicinity. | 1 Slide, 2 Mongosteen “Shelters” | Rubber mat |
| 7 | Toa Payoh – Small Dragon | Smallest of the dragons, sits beside another small play structure. | 1 Slide | Rubber mat |
