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

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...

The old school playground - Holiday Farm

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience.  Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too.  Holiday farm is a family run, educational and interactive farm situated in Sheung Shui. It promotes green culture and environmental friendly lifestyle hence being there do make you feel closer to the nature; especially with their originality on play equipments. Last holiday, we took kids to Holiday Farm. Honestly, it’s an exciting place to be, we have a wonderful day, from 10 to 5pm 👍 Kids love everything they saw! The treehouse slides, the horses riding made with recycled materials, the barrel slides, the “carpets” slides, each of these gave so much fun and create unforgettable memories.  The activities are divided into 2 categories, the generals (include botanic gardens, boat through the pond, rickshaw, gr...

Balance beam 6. “A” wall  7. Spider webs  8. Barbed wire  9. A frame  10. Log jump Kids love every bits! Well, almost every single one except the mud pit which got them in a little bit of a sticky situation. There are moments which I’d love not to forget, moments that my kids made me so proud of myself as a mother 😂  We joint the open category for age 4 to 6, which K is 6y2m and D is 4y8m. They have been quite an active kids, of course I have no doubt in their capability to finish the challenge. However, they do surprise me with their team spirits and sharpness at taking down each obstacles.  K shows her determi...
