The “Globe” Playground at Kwun Tong

 


On Sunday morning, we finally drop by the newly built playground everyone’s been talking and asking about. The one that gives the Japanese playground vibes. The one that seems to be different than most of the locals playground. 



I like the design of this park, how it makes full use of the spaces in hand. Ground floor is football ⚽️, upper floor with 🎾 tennis courts and finally first floor aka the platform is where the children playground located. 


Spacious and windy when we got there around 9.30 in the morning. Quite a small area, I must say. There’s 5 areas: 

1. The fitness corner for adults 

2. The globe play equipment 

3. The merry-go-round 

4. The swings 

5. The trampoline 



My kids love “the globe” so much! It’s their favourite. Even we, the parents thought it’s fun, finally something different. The Globe has plenty of climbing nets which are perfect for kids to work on their balancing, core and coordination; then there’s 3 slides with the longest being the metal spiral slide.  


There are 3 different kind of swings. The you & me swing which we call it the flying swing because of the way we play it; the simple twin swing set and the shell nest swing where everyone play safely. I think I t’s rather important to spend time on swings  because :

- it increases spatial awareness 

- develop gross and fine motor skills in prep for physical activities because swinging engage multiple muscle groups at once

- releases endorphins into the body, making children feel happier and more focused



Honestly, the location is definitely inconvenient. If I have to come with kids, would probably take a cab instead of public transportation. But it is perfect if you’re driving, because there’s carpark at the park. 


Shaded: Simple shades at the benches area but play areas are not covered.


Refreshment: G/f near the carpark


Toilet: Yes


Mom rate: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ 

Kids rate: ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️


How to get there: 

- by MTR, Kwun Tong station exit A1 with 20 mins walk towards the park 

- by Bus, any bus stops at United Christian Hospital (基督教聯合醫院)


Location: Hong Ning Road Park Phase 1

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam.  It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞).  On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo  Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes.  The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time.  Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that.  If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...
