Dear Minister Mah Bow Tan

Proposal to improve playgrounds in Tampines(Heading )

I am Kelly from Pasir Ris Secondary School. Living in Tampines for over 10 years, Tampines has prospered under your expert leadership. We are currently doing a project relating to the playgrounds in Tampines and found that the playgrounds are very colourful and aesthetically appealing. However, we also found out that the playgrounds in Tampines are not catered for the terminally ill children as it is too dangerous for them to climb about and there are little facilities for them.

My group and I have come up with a playground model to cater to the needs of the terminally ill children. Although it is specially made for terminally ill children, other children can also play in it safely. Also, while the terminally ill children can play there, they can interact with other kids and have fun. Our playground model is made based on the theme Bridge to Terabithia. We have improvised the idea to make it safe for all children especially the terminally ill. One of our ideas was to add a trampoline with a netting surrounding it so as to prevent children from falling out while having fun. There is also a slide so as to allow them to climb up and down the trampoline.
Many children nowadays do not go to the playground anymore as the facilities there seem to be old and boring. This applies to both the old and new playgrounds in Tampines. We added many creative ideas with the hope of making the playgrounds more fun so as to attract more kids. This will then make Tampines a much better place to live in. I hope that after reading,you will set aside some time from your busy schedule to consider my group's suggestion.
