Water Fun for All Ages

And if you’re looking to add a burst of color… every evening you’ll see a rainbow of lights dusting the water area, turning ordinary play into an instant party.
Maintenance Update
Heads up: the water play section will be closed for maintenance until mid‑September 2022. While the lakes are under repair, the tower and net play area remain open—just be sure to bring that bright scarf!

7. Clusia Cove at Jurong Lake Gardens
Splash into Clusia Cove: where nature takes a dip and kids get to play in the tide
Picture this: a sprawling 90‑hectare oasis known as Jurong Lake Gardens, Singapore’s grandest heartland nature park and newest national garden. Nestled within this green paradise is the splash‑y, naturally‑fancy Clusia Cove water park – a three‑hectare slice of playground paradise that’s as earthy as it is exhilarating.
The Name That Literally Means “Clusia”‑Style Fun
Clusia Cove gets its name from the Autograph Tree (Clusia rosea) – a semi‑aquatic plant that’s all about making a splash in the eco‑pond. It’s a big nod to the park’s botanical buddies.
What’s Inside the Splash Kingdom?
- Eco‑Pond with a Jungle Vibe: surrounded by lush shrubs, this pond isn’t just a pretty face – it’s a whole ecosystem doing its own water‑cleaning job.
- Sand Pit for Tiny Explorers: perfect for toddlers who love to dig, sniff, and sense everything about the world.
- Tidal Pool with Natural Ripples: observe the ocean‑like water movement that’s real, not artificial.
Learn, Laugh, and Dive Into Water Science
Kids (and even the older ones) get to discover how their watery playground keeps itself squeaky‑clean. The water goes through a closed‑loop natural recycling system – think of it as a refresh button powered by plants. The re‑entered water, humming along through the system, generates the coast‑style ripples the park is famed for – a clean, balanced dance of currents.
Picture a tiny “water classroom” right under your swim. While you splash, you’re learning: water dynamics, natural filtration, and how ecosystems collaborate to keep things fresh. That’s science with a giggle!
Open Hours & Gotchas
Clusia Cove giggles and swims every day except Mondays (below public holidays). So pick a weekday, grab your swim gear, and dive into this open‑air pond that feels like a natural ark – just a little more slick.
8. Dino-themed Wet Playground at Causeway Point
Dino‑Mazing Water Playground in Woodlands
Got a little explorer who thinks #GiantSquid is a tourist spot?
Bring them to the Dino‑Mite water park where the slides are more urgent than the Jurassic period.
Zone 1: Fossil Spray & Toddler Dino Zone
- 2 m Hollow Ribcage Fossil – An over‑the‑top bone shape with water jets so cool they’re like naptime for amphibians.
- Floor “rocks” are fitted with activity jets that spurt water in a burst of playful chaos.
- Mini breakthrough: the Dino Egg Tray let toddlers enjoy a wet sensory splash – water pour like eggshells, with small spinning wheels and levers that make the little ones giggle.
Zone 2: Adventure Volcano & Crater Zone
- Thrilling slides & giant rocks lead to the mist‑spraying volcano where kids can emulate a fire‑breathing dinosaur (minus the lava).
- Meet the colossal blue Sauropod. It shoots water jets as little ones sprint between its tail and body. The more they zoom, the hotter the spray.
Missing the dinosaurs? It’s closed every second Monday of the month, so plan your visits strategically.
Why this park will keep your family glued to the splash zone
- Prehistoric adventures that actually function as a splash‑zone playground rather than a faux museum.
- Activities designed for toddlers, so parents can relax while kids big‑heartedly explore.
- The Wolf‑child of cardboard trees (also known as the crazy folding rocks) keeps every splash session thrilling and unpredictable.
End of the day, when your little one looks back at the water tower with eyes wide as a T‑rex jaw… you know you’ve hit the spot.
