5 BUANGKOK SKATEPARK

If your kids are the outdoorsy, adrenaline-chasing variety, chances are they’ve been toting around a skateboard (or asking for one!). Happily, Singapore has a number of well-equipped skate parks for kickflippi­ng and making new friends.

Situated within Buangkok Sports Park, this decently sized skate park has half- and quarterpip­es and rails for riding and showing off cool tricks. If you’re just starting out and need all the space you can get to practice, there’s a huge flat space in the middle, with the obstacles lining the sides of the park.
