SINGAPORE – Make family time all the more special with these ideas and activities.
Free playground driven by kinetic energy
A playground that transforms your kids’ energy into dazzling effects? Yes, here is one free-to-play pop-up structure that will fascinate the young and young at heart.
The Kinetics Energy Play is open for all to explore as part of Singapore Design Week until Oct 6. Find it at the level 2 linkway that connects Marina Square and Millenia Walk.
Created by Kinetics Play, a playground design company, the 4.4m-tall structure has covered slides and climbing nets. But what sets it apart from other playgrounds are its features driven by kinetic energy.
For example, pedal on a stationary bike to power up a fan. You can also run on a “hamster wheel” and rotate a hand crank. These actions convert your energy into electricity to switch on LED lighting around the structure.
Visit it after sundown for the best effects. The playground will be exhibited next in Dubai.
