Playground, Dover 35.

Out of my impulsiveness, i posted on STOMP (24 Feb '09) and wrote to the West Coast Town Council requesting for the preservation and maintenance of this old playground at Dover Rd, Blk 35.

The below reply was just received from a Senior Property Officer of the Town Council via email:
"We refer to your e-mail regarding the sentimental old playground at Block 35 Dover Road. You may be pleased to know that our Town Council has no plan to demolish the playground. We will continue to maintain it. For instance. we have just given the play equipment fresh coats of paint (photo attached).


But we would also like to inform you that in July 2004, Blocks 30 to 39 Dover Road were announced for the Selective En bloc Redevelopment Scheme (SERS) by the Ministry of National Development. Thank you."

Although the original white stone-washed finish of Rabbit and Tortoise were gone and replaced by the strange green, we do appreciate the clean look of the playground.

The many kind comments and high ratings received on STOMP were most heartening. Reading them brings back much warm memories of my childhood :) I hope many would visit the playground while we still can. Just like the 2 school children who are enjoying themselves in the above photo...
